The Supreme Court's verdicts show that, contrary to what the administration believes, we can have both security and liberty. Congress should now enact legislation that reflects the court's carefully balanced decisions on liberty and security. The Judiciary Committee ought to hold hearings immediately to begin the process of enacting legislation.
