Let's play a game and see how many civil liberties have been violated today!
From Wikipedia:
Civil liberties is the name given to freedoms that protect the individual from government. Civil liberties set limits for government so that it would not abuse its power and interfere with the lives of its citizens. See also civil rights and human rights.
Basic civil liberties include freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech. There are also the rights to due process, to a fair trial, to privacy, and to self defense. Many of the world's democracies, most especially the United States and Europe, have constitutions, that guarantee civil liberties, and democratic states have assumed responsibility for the protection of such civil liberties, unlike authoritarian states. There are also disputes in certain issues, whether they should be considered civil liberties at all, and, if so, whether they should be protected. Controversial examples include reproductive rights, same-sex marriage, and possession of guns. Furthermore, even civil liberties that are legally protected have sometimes been abrogated, especially in time of war.
