What legislation currently being developed is the greatest threat to freedom in the US and why?

The Patriot Act greatly threatened citizen's rights in the US. The institution of the IRS trampled the citizen's right to personal property. McCarthyism threatened the right to assembly and free speech. What should we be concerned about today? Or, is there nothing to worry about at all.|||The entire socialist agenda of the progressive left which includes almost the entire Democratic Party and of course Mr Obama. Its been their dream for almost a century to subjugate the citizens of the USA and place us all under their thumb in the guise of the public good !!|||Overstepping by the supreme court. They undermine the legislative process and make law from the bench.|||I agree with you|||ALL OF THEM.





They vote on it BUT they even don't read it!|||What we as Americans should most be worried about is lobbying by private prisons, drug companies, and the timber and cotton industries. What these criminals lobby for is the continued criminalization of hemp production, as well as the incarceration of non-violent marijuana consumers. Fundamental American rights include those to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If a law prevents an American adult from putting a substance into their body, it opens a Pandora's box of violations of personal soveigrnty, as well inviting the abuse of other fundamental rights, including our 2nd and 4th amendments rights.|||The issue mentioned by one above is one of mere semantic. The supreme court, as federal courts do, set national president.





The supreme court cannot create laws, merely deem others unconstitutional. That is not creating laws, but setting president.





This whole issue of 'legislating from the bench' is indicative of the wide-ranging proclivity among actual legislatures to off load their duties and place them on another. How odd.





You're really living in a fairy world if you think there is anything that is truly 'free'.





Degrees can change, angles are unchanging.|||Health Care.





Even if you feel it is a good thing or a bad thing. It is not legal for a private company to charge a person for a service that they do not want provided.


Car insurance is not the same. You can have a hundred cars and not pay insurance until you use the roads. It is a condition of using public land for private purposes.





This is the same as oxygen insurance, a charge for being allowed to continue breathing. They can threaten to deny services if you cannot prove the ability to pay a hospital, but not mandate insurance|||Max Baucus health care reform. no choice gives more money to the insurance companies|||Your wrong about. The Patriot Act. It does not threaten citizen's rights and is only a temporary measure to respond to extraordinary circumstances. "McCarthyism" was not legislation and did not threaten anyone's right to speech or assembly. It did make a lot of Communists unhappy. You are correct about the IRS.





Health Care Public option is the biggest threat right now. Once the government provides health care, they will assume to control nearly every aspect of our lives and behaviors in the name of what is and is not "good" for us. That will include food production, transportation, leisure pursuits, speed limits, personal life-style etc.





They can limit what you are able to do by providing or denying health care. If you eat the wrong food, drive the wrong kind of car, participate in dangerous sports, smoke, drink or whatever else that can increase the likelihood of you being at a higher risk of disease or injury, the Government then has the right to limit that activity to contain health care costs.





*|||Listening to those paid to belch propaganda on talk radio health care reform, going back to sane sensible financial regulations we had before Ron Billy Georgie, INTERNET neutrality threaten the very foundation of our system of government. Thing that worries me the most is continuing to let fewer and fewer people own more and more of media in USA.|||H. R. 645 would authorize concentration camps in America.
