FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 2001 September 11's terrorist attacks have changed the way Americans feel about security but lawyers must be prepared to fight encroachments of basic civil liberties, Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor said on Thursday. At a gathering of lawyers at the Nebraska State Bar Association in Lincoln, she said laws are already being developed to expand police powers. But they must be kept within Constitutional limits, she said. Congress is finalizing a bill that makes it easier for law enforcement authorities to conduct electronic and other surveillance on suspected terrorists. Get the Story:
