Civil liberties disappear in the 2012 Democratic platform.

102. Let's see here,

The '08 platform on the Patriot Act:
"We support constitutional protections and judicial oversight on any surveillance program involving Americans. We will review the current Administration's warrantless wiretapping program. We reject illegal wiretapping of American citizens, wherever they live. We reject the use of national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime. We reject the tracking of citizens who do nothing more than protest a misguided war…We will revisit the Patriot Act and overturn unconstitutional executive decisions issued during the past eight years."
Certainly quite a bit stronger than a "review", "We reject illegal wiretapping of American citizens, wherever they live." Sounds like a condemnation to me.

Oh, and we're not talking executive orders here, we're talking party platforms, please do try to keep up.
