It's not that bad....

There's still the right for the govt to levy taxes.

There is now the right to be detained without trial.

There is now the right not to have due legal process or habeas corpus.

The president considers he has the right to interpret and redefine the terms of the Geneva Conventions.

U.S. personnel, CIA operatives, civilian officials, and civilian contractors responsible for abuses and torture now have the right to breath easier and not be subject to offenses under the War Crimes Act.

When you are no longer resident in the US, there is still the right to file tax returns and pay taxes on your worldwide income.

There is still the right to know that your children are the only kids on the planet who do not have protection under the Convention of the Rights of the Child.

... it could be worse - maybe.
