Many people may believe that it is impossible to deny certain personal rights for even a short amount of time and still retain a just community. In the McCarthyism Era the infringement of personal rights was done so in a discriminatory way. This was a time when fear ruled the courts and there was no logic behind the violation of personal rights. With the same impracticality people believe you can keep personal freedoms while creating different compromises to protect the public. An exception must be made to ensure safety in desperate times. What people must realize is that when a national crisis calls for the temporary nullification of one of their personal rights there is a reason for it. It is not a direct trade between freedom and safety
