Former presidential candidate upholds civil liberties

Bob Barr, former U.S. Congressman, federal attorney and 2008 Libertarian Party nominee for President of the United States, recently told a group of Mercer Law School students that they should “look at what government is doing not just on the surface.” At the invitation of the law school’s Federalist Society, Barr spoke on Feb. 24 on the topic “Is Big Brother Watching?” Barr’s address focused on his views on what he called the “diminution” of civil liberties in the United States.
