Ruth Bader Warns Against Civil Rights Apathy (for real)

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=558&u=/ap/20040130/ap_on_go_su_co/scotus_ginsburg_2&printer=1

NEW YORK - Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (news - web sites) said Thursday that people concerned about losing freedom to government anti-terrorism efforts should speak out.

-snip-

Ginsburg, speaking to a group of women's rights lawyers, was asked if people's rights were in danger.


"On important issues, like the balance between liberty and security, if the public doesn't care, then the security side is going to overweigh the other," she said.


That would change, Ginsburg said, "if people come forward and say we are proud to live in the USA, a land that has been more free, and we want to keep it that way."

Thank You Ruth!
