"The right to dissent, the right to protest is the heart of what this debate is about ... We have seen data mining of personal records
.. we have seen extraordinary renditions ... People are looking at the United States of America and saying what is wrong with that great nation ... This is one of the reasons why respect for the US has gone down down down all over the world. "

Talking about political firings in office of attorney. "there has been a systematic attack on our Constitution".
