What is most striking to me [the author] is how little actual concern for civil liberties there appears to be on the Left. Liberals are happy to use civil liberties concerns (like budget deficits) as clubs to bludgeon Republicans, whether justified or not. But anxiety about civil liberties appears to dissipate quickly when there is no political advantage to be gained.
