Evaluate the state of civil liberties in the United States today. What rights are guaranteed by the government and what rights are threatened by it? Has the Supreme Court moved too far in protecting the rights of individuals from the rule of the majority, or does it continue to allow the majority too much power to infringe on unpopular views and actions? Which rights, if any, can be safely curtailed without undermining the republic, and which rights, if any, must be preserved at all costs in order for the republic to survive?

What will be an ideal response?
