At least in Australia and for myself personally, I am not worried about how we are being treated _now_, I am worried about the powers that have the capacity to be abused in the future without a legal standing for opposition.
If you were a senior public servant and had uncovered some wrong doing in your, or any other department, you would care.
If you were a journalist and writing a story that could embarrass somebody with power, you would care.
If you were in the military and a witness war crimes, you would care.
Even if you were a lawyer working to represent somebody, anybody with any power, you would care.
People are being "disappeared" and legal proceedings conducted in secret. We found out about Witness K. What haven't we heard about?
