Protection of Liberty

or in other words
Protecting Liberty

from Federalist Patriot
"Liberty must at all hazards be supported. We have a right to it, derived from our Maker. But if we had not, our fathers have earned and bought it for us, at the expense of their ease, their estates, their pleasure, and their blood." --John Adams

Fred wrote in a recent column in reference to illegal searches and subway inspections.
"It is curious that an entire system of constitutional protections can be dismantled just by ignoring it. I would have thought it more difficult, but it isn’t."

How should liberty be supported? I agree with Fred that it is too easy to simply ignore protections of the the Constitution that guarantee our liberty. Those protections can be ignored as words on paper.
