	long_fiorina_nad_3\|Student Resources\|Civil Liberties\|Summary
		The meaning of civil liberties in the United States has been shaped by the Supreme Court, political debates, and election outcomes.
		In its first major decision affecting freedom of speech, the Supreme Court, in Schenck vs. United States (1919), enunciated the clear and present danger doctrine, a principle that said people should have complete freedom of speech unless their language gave rise to a clear and present danger.
		In applying this clause, the Court has prohibited a state from closing all private religious schools, requiring those who object on religious grounds from saluting the American flag (having upheld the law just three years earlier), and allowed the Amish to refuse to follow the law requiring mandatory school attendance.

		People who care about civil liberties in the United States should embrace rather than fight the USA Patriot Act, former Bush administration anti-terrorism coordinator Robert Clarke told a standing-room-only audience at the John F. Kennedy School of Government April 21.
		To ultimately win the war on terror, Clarke said the United States has to somehow begin winning over the millions of Muslims who, though not actively fighting, are supporting radical causes monetarily and through other kinds of support.
		In the United States, he said, airlines are undoubtedly safer, but the nation hasn't spent the money needed to make trains, container ships, and other potential terrorist targets safer.
