New York City Council passes the Bill of Rights Resolution

New York City Council voted on February 4, 2004, to pass the Bill of Rights Resolution.Immediately following the September 2001 acts of terrorism, with little public debate, the U.S. Congress enacted the USA Patriot Act, and then the Homeland Security Act, followed by new federal orders, rules and regulations. Critics say many of these contain provisions infringing on civil liberties and civil rights.
