Mr. President. but as a private citizen and as a Senator I have always been vigilant about restrictions on the basic freedoms that make America unique in the world. Perhaps because I am the son of immigrant parents whose families fled tyranny for the promise of freedom. the Constitution and the Bill of Rights for me are not abstractions. I was raised to respect them as a sacred promise of freedom. Promises compelling enough to convince my grandparents as they carried my parents to travel halfway across the Earth to live under the protections of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution.
