Watch Matt Welch Talk Post-Boston Civil Liberties at 7 PM ET on CNN's Out Front With Erin Burnett

After 7 pm New York time, I will be on Out Front talking about the always-mythical balance between liberty and security in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing. Tune in and send me your psychic moral support!

Is this even a question? Before the Boston Lockdown we had slavery segregation and no gay marriage. Obviously liberty is in bloom.

With no TV, I get all my news from the web. Is anyone on TV taking the point of view that I assume Matt will be taking? Should he expect to be tarred and feathered?

What's all this then? Team coverage of the Boston Marathon bomb and cable news' favorite pet libertarian is nowhere to be found. Classic bait and switch.

Welch shows up, Fleischer is on the monitor. Advantage: Welch.

"He makes a good argument." Not really.

[Fist of Etiquette]

The threat has changed, the Constitution must change with it. I was afraid CNN wasn't going to fellate the state on this, but Erin came through.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Ha, Fleischer has in his mind figured out the exact balance of liberty and security. It's paying lip service to liberty while focusing solely on "security."

[Fist of Etiquette]

And that's it for Welch. Luckily I didn't have to sit through to much of this crap.

[SIV]

Did Welch get the hook?

[Fist of Etiquette]

It looks like they only budgeted five minutes to the security/liberty debate. It was literally the biggest waste of time either Welch or I had ever had to endure.

[EDG reppin' LBC]

I'm sure you've endured worse time wasting.

YOU DON'T KNOW ME.
