| | UUA: Civil Liberties: 2004 UUA General Resolution |
 | | Civil liberties carry a history of conflict and struggle between rights for all and privilege for some, between individual liberty and general security, between personal need and the common good, between the aspiration to reason and tolerance and the inclination to scapegoat and punish. | | | Those civil liberties guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, Amendments I through X to the Constitution of the United States of America, are as fundamental to our practice of democracy as freedom of conscience is to our actions of faith. | | | We demand that Attorney General John Ashcroft be held fully accountable for his advocacy of policies that have eroded civil liberties, including the refusal to provide constitutionally guaranteed legal representation to detained individuals, American citizens and non-citizens alike. |

| | Civil liberties are usually protected by a constitution. | | | The UK has no formal written constitution, however it is a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) which covers both human rights and civil liberties, and has passed the Human Rights Act, which forces compliance between the treaty and UK law. | | | The act itself expands the surveillance powers of the federal government and some have argued that it violates the civil liberties of citizens granted by the... |

| | Nersesian and civil liberties attorneys agree the Bernier case is symptomatic of problems that are becoming "rampant" and that take serious emotional and financial tolls on players caught in the cross hairs. | | | While held in custody, which civil liberties attorneys say was unconstitutional, Bernier was interrogated by security guards without being read his rights and with state Gaming Control Board officers watching from behind a one-way mirror. | | | Several gaming industry attorneys and civil liberties lawyers say the Bernier case is not an isolated incident, but part of a disturbing pattern. |

Shapiro is the Legal Director of the American Civil Liberties Union, the nation's oldest and largest civil liberties organization. | | | Last week, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled unanimously that state trial courts may not require plaintiffs alleging a federal civil rights claim to meet a higher burden of proof than the burden used by federal courts in deciding such claims. |

| | However, maintaining civil liberties is, in my opinion, the responsibility of all citizens, and should not be, must not be, left to technicians (like so much else). | | | For (my) convenience, I have loosely followed the characterisation of civil liberties used in Freedom Under Thatcher: Civil Liberties in Modern Britain, by K.D. Ewing and C.A. Gearty. | | | In this case, the executive still has the cheek to call the Act “Temporary provisions”, despite the fact that most of the provisions of this Act have been law since 1974. |

| | The ACLU endorsed this amendment because it would expand the federal criminal civil rights statute to include violent acts against a person because of a person's sexual orientation, gender identity, gender, or disability. | | | The ACLU opposed this bill because it failed to add reasonable, necessary safeguards to protect civil liberties, such as standards for individual suspicion and limits on secret searches. | | | It also protects First Amendment rights by providing that evidence of a person's speech or membership can be used to prove the crime only if the evidence is directly related to the violent offense. |
