Zero authentic instances of "civil liberties" being trampled by this administration as they wage war against a global, ephemeral enemy, 3,000+ dead in one day, plus the sacrifice of 2,000+ plus American citizens doing the heavy lifting of scouring the earth of medieval fanatics who scoff at the very concept of civil liberties.
