Obama doesn't seem to care. Why isn't there a real push to change it? Maybe because my new boss is too focused on me going to the dark side as a veteren and other dumb crap
At the moment it all comes down to politics and the courts.
At one time slavery was legal. During WWII, Japanese Americans were put into "relocation camps"; there were Jim Crow laws on the books at one time.
Look at some of the wiretapping, including domestic wiretapping that existed under the last administration - and may even still be happening.
Just because the above was legal at one point in time does not make it right.
At the moment, I'd say we're on a slippery slope.
