When confidence in the rule of law erodes. sweeping measureswhich threaten to wipe out civil liberties altogether. gain in credence. We can see this happening already: Compare the bill the Senate votes on today to the one that the President of the United States proposed. just 6 months ago. His bill: permitted deportation of U.S. residents without a hearing and without legal representation. allowed the use in evidence of any gun. however seized by policeeven if the police broke down every door on a block on a whim. totally eliminated any Federal court review of death sentences. as long as State courts heard the case. And the list goes on. Unless we take steps to control crime.
