The Political Wisdom of William Jefferson Clinton
In a nutshell, the classical Clintonian legal philosophy is simple: the government giveth, and the government taketh away. Do you see anything wrong with this legal positivist philosophy of state idolatry?
We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans.
The purpose of government is to rein in the rights of the people.
You can't say you love your country and hate your government.
When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly... [However, now] there's a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there's too much freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it.
