Cast Your Vote in the Worst Abuser of Civil Liberties in Government Bracket!
In keeping with the spirit of the madness of March and King George, we are preparing to seed a bracket of 32 nominees comprising the state and federal agencies and the bureaucrats who committed the worst abuses of civil liberties in 2022. Join us as we thumb our noses at these runaway regulators, officious bureaucrats, and god-complex governors. Watch gleefully as we force them to battle it out head-to-head in tournament-style match-ups.
Join the New Civil Liberties Movement. Protect Americans from the Administrative State!
NCLA views the administrative state as an especially serious threat to constitutional freedoms. No other development in contemporary American law denies more rights to more Americans. Although Americans still enjoy the shell of their Republic, there has developed within it a very different sort of government—a type, in fact, that the Constitution was designed to prevent. This unconstitutional administrative state within our U.S. government is the focus of NCLA’s concern. NCLA urges Americans to recognize the administrative threat and join our civil liberties movement against it.
Mission
