Must be old age, but I don't remember anything in particular from the Clinton era that threatened to diminish the Bill of Rights. If by 'rights', you mean some of the crap that has been introduced since the mid fifties, then I agree on the trampling, but less so on the 'right'.

Here are a few things that come to mind; Clinton's commitment of 20,000 troops in Bosnia without congressional consent is a continuation of the Imperial presidency. Moves during that administration to bring the US under jurisdiction of the Internation Criminal Court. The implementation of somewhat covert national ID system, through requiring SS# be electronically encoded on DL's by States. The Brady Bill, and numerous 2nd amendment erosions (e.g. military styled guns). Legislation introduced and signed to limit encryption, and allows the Feds to control our access to encryption technology which prevents citizens from insuring their own privacy. EO 13083, which attempts to rewrite the Tenth Amendment in favor of the Federal Executive rather than for States. Also, many EO's by Clinton (as emergency powers) were done as power play in order to circumvent congress. The Clinton sponsored cyberspace harrassment law suppressing free speech on the internet whether it be bigoted political advocacy, sexually themed jokes, potentially offensive art, or religious proselytizing?
