Not since the American Revolution, when Paul Revere rode through the streets of Boston and Thomas Paine published his famous Common Sense, have Americans received a more urgent wake-up call to the looming danger to their liberty than they did this week.

Despite court orders, the administration refuses to lift a finger to right that grievous wrong.
