| Privacy Debate: Marc Rotenberg opening remarks |
 |
We are not only discussing the expectations of
privacy going forward, but also the constitutional
traditions of this nation. America has a strong
history of protecting personal privacy, and as
technology has advanced we have always chosen to
update our laws to maintain those protections.
The Supreme Court has supported these laws that
protected rights. 9/11 challenged us not only to
protect our nation, but also to protect what makes
us free: the Constitution and the rule of law.
The American public has largely rejected the
additional surveillance programs instituted by the
Bush administration in recent years. If the
government needs information, it should go through
the proper processes and get a warrant from a
judge. The answer is not how to adjust the
balance between privacy and security. We need to
always maintain the rule of law, constitutional
protections, and the need for an independent
judiciary and an open and accountable government.
If we're prepared to accept the proposition that
we can lower our expectations of privacy after
9/11, then we're prepared to accept the
proposition that we can diminish our
constitutional form of democracy.
