Our rights to not have our property or persons searched or seized without a warrant, to not be harassed by the government without good reason, and to conduct our own peaceful affairs with minimal intrusion are increasingly challenged by new technology.

It is 10 AM on January 21, 1991, when Montana State Senator Eleanor Vaughn, D-Libby, calls the joint meeting of House and Senate State Administration Committees to order, and Senator Harry Fritz rises to present, for the third consecutive legislative session, 1987, 1989, and now, 1991, a bill to create a paid state holiday honoring the legacy of the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. It has been a national holiday since 1986, and Montana is one of the two remaining states that has yet to create one of its own—Arizona is the other. SB 78, the bill creating the holiday, is supported by Montana Republican Attorney General Marc Racicot (a member of the Libby Loggers 1966 Class A state basketball championship team), will be passed by the Democratically controlled Senate and House, and signed into law by Republican Governor Stan Stevens on February 8, 1991. This was, said Stevens, quoted in the New York Times, “…not only a day honoring Dr. King, but his ideas and the ideas of others who’ve championed civil rights throughout the world.”
