Barr returned to the United States, attending the University of Southern California and joining the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity in 1967 (where as of 2008 he holds the position of Grand Histor).[13] Barr also joined the Young Democrats of America, and rallied against the Vietnam War.[12] His parents disapproved, and threatened to cut off financial support if he continued his "flaming liberal" activities.[1][2] During this time, Barr's mother introduced him to the work of Ayn Rand.[1][12] This fostered a new-found appreciation for conservativism, and prompted Barr to join the Young Trojan Republican Club.[1][12] Barr completed his B.A., cum laude,[14] from University of Southern California in 1970.[7] The Trojan Shrine, better known as Tommy Trojan located in the center of University of Southern California campus. ...

Early career

Barr earned a master's degree in International Affairs[4] from George Washington University in 1972, and his J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center in 1977.[4][7] From 1971 (1970?[7]) to 1978, Barr was employed by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).[4][8] A Master of Arts is a postgraduate academic masters degree awarded by universities in North America and the United Kingdom (excluding the ancient universities of Scotland and Oxbridge. ...

After leaving the CIA, Barr moved to Georgia, where he practiced law and became active in the Republican Party.[2] Barr made an unsuccessful bid for the Georgia House of Representatives in 1984.[2] In 1986, Barr was appointed by President Ronald Reagan[8] to serve as U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia—a post Barr held until 1990.[7] Barr's office prosecuted state and local officials, members of the Medellin drug cartel, and got a perjury indictment on then-sitting Republican Congressman Pat Swindall[15], who ultimately served a year in prison on the charges.

Congressional career

Barr was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1994 as a Republican, upsetting six-term Democrat Buddy Darden, to represent Georgia's 7th congressional district in the 104th United States Congress. Barr was one of 73 Republican freshmen ushered into Congress by that election.[18] The election became known as the "Republican Revolution" because it resulted in the first Republican House majority in 40 years—since the 1955 adjournment of the 83rd Congress.[19][20] The House of Representatives is the larger of two houses that make up the U.S. Congress, the other being the United States Senate. ...

Barr was later reelected three times, serving from 1995 to 2003.[7] While in Congress, Barr served as a senior member of the Judiciary Committee, as Vice-Chairman of the Government Reform Committee,[8] and as a member of the Committee on Financial Services and the Committee on Veteran's Affairs.[4][8] U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary, or (more commonly) the House Judiciary Committee, is a standing committee of the United States House of Representatives. ...

Georgia's congressional districts were reorganized by the Democratic-controlled Georgia legislature ahead of the 2002 elections for the 108th Congress.[21] As part of the legislature's effort to get more Democrats elected from the state, Barr's district was dismantled even though Georgia gained two districts. He was drawn into the same district as fellow Republican John Linder. The new district was numerically Barr's district--the 7th--but contained most of the territory from Linder's old 11th District. This move profited Democrats by leading to the inevitable defeat of an incumbent Republican (i.e., either Barr or Linder).[22] Recognizing Barr's precarious situation, the Libertarian Party seized on the opportunity to oust one of the federal drug war's most vocal proponents (Barr), and ran TV ads criticizing Barr's opposition to medical marijuana.[23] Barr was soundly defeated by a 2-to-1 margin.[23] The extent to which the issue of medical marijuana shaped the election is unclear. Some have argued that Barr's huge loss simply reflected the nature of the new 7th district, which was primarly redrawn from Linder's old 11th district.[21] However, before the medical marijuana ads were aired,[23] the Linder campaign acknowledged the race as being tight;[24] and Pat Gartland, southeastern director of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, saw the race as "too close to call".[22] After the 2000 Census, the State of Georgia was divided into 13 Congressional Districts, increasing from 11 due to reapportionment. ...

Barr's defeat was applauded by many Democrats and Libertarians.

However, some individuals within these groups lamented Barr's defeat as a setback for privacy rights,[26] and libertarian causes in general.[24] Libertarian J. Bradley Jansen opined: Privacy is a modern construct. ...

The LP has a historic opportunity to present itself as a viable alternative to the big parties, instead of spending its money and energy trying to defeat one of libertarianism's few friends in Congress just because they disagree with him on one issue.

As of 2008, Barr has not made any additional bids for a congressional seat.


Political positions in Congress

During his tenure, Barr was regarded as one of the most conservative members of Congress.[27] In 2002, he was described as "the idol of the gun-toting, abortion-fighting, IRS-hating hard right wing of American politics".[22] However, Barr's criticism of the Bush administration's policies on privacy and other civil liberties after the 9/11 attacks was unusual among House Republicans (see Criticism of Bush Administration below).[22] This criticism earned Barr other labels such as maverick,[22] Jekyll-and-Hyde,[28] and libertarian.[24] Conservatism in the United States comprises a constellation of political ideologies including fiscal conservatism, free market or economic liberalism, social conservatism,[1] bioconservatism and religious conservatism,[2][3] as well as support for a strong military,[4] small government and promotion of states rights. ...

War on drugs

Barr was originally a strong supporter of the War on Drugs, reflecting his previous experience as an Anti-Drug Coordinator for the Department of Justice.[7] While in Congress, he was a member of the Speaker's Task Force for a Drug-Free America.[28] This task force was established in 1998 by then-Speaker Newt Gingrich to "design a World War II-style victory plan to save America's children from illegal drugs."[29] The task force crafted legislation specifically designed to "win the War on Drugs by 2002".[29] For the Barenaked Ladies song War on Drugs, see Everything to Everyone. ...

Barr advocated complete federal prohibition of medical marijuana. In 1998, He successfully blocked implementation of Initiative 59—the "Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Initiative of 1998"—which would have legalized medical marijuana in the District of Columbia (DC).[32] The "Barr Amendment" to the 1999 Omnibus spending bill not only blocked implementation of Initiative 59 but prohibited the vote tally from even being released.[32][33] Nearly a year passed before a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union eventually revealed the initiative had received 69 percent of the vote.[34] In response to the judge's ruling, Barr simply attached another "Barr Amendment" to the 2000 Omnibus spending bill that overturned Initiative 59 outright.[35] The Barr Amendment also prohibited future laws that would "decrease the penalties for marijuana or other Schedule I drugs" in Washington, DC.[36] This preemptively blocked future attempts by Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) to reform marijuana laws in DC via the initiative process.[36] In March 2002, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan struck down this portion of the Barr Amendment as being an unconstitutional restriction on free speech.[36][37] Barr's response to the ruling was defiant: For a more general overview of methods to tackle drug addiction, see Drug policy. ...

The federal government later prevailed on appeal,[39] reinstating the Barr Amendment just in time to thwart MPP's initiative 63 -- "The Medical Marijuana Initiative of 2002" -- which had already qualified for the November 2002 ballot.[40][41] As of 2007, the Barr Amendment remains in effect, and Initiative 63 remains in limbo -- technically ready to appear on the next DC election ballot when and if the Barr Amendment is ever repealed.[40][42] 2002 : January - February - March - April - May - June - July - August - September - October - November - December A timeline of events in the news for November, 2002. ... 2007 is a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar. ...

Same-sex marriage

Barr took a lead in legislative debate concerning same-sex marriage. He authored and sponsored the Defense of Marriage Act, a law enacted in 1996 which states that only marriages that are between a man and a woman can be federally recognized, and individual states may choose not to recognize a same-sex marriage performed in another state.[44] At the 2008 Libertarian National Convention, he apologized for the part of the Defense of Marriage Act which prevents the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages.[45] Recognized in some regions Foreign marriages recognized Civil unions and registered partnerships Recognized in some regions Unregistered co-habitation Recognition debated United States (IA, IL, MD, NM, NY, RI) Recognition granted, same-sex marriage debated United States (CT, DC, HI, ME, NH, NJ, OR, VT, WA) See also This box...

War in Iraq

In 2002 Barr, like all but six Republicans in the House of Representatives, voted for the Iraq Resolution in 2002.[51] He has since called for withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, leaving no permanent military bases.

After the Lewinsky scandal came to light, Barr was the first lawmaker in either chamber to call for Clinton's resignation.[61] During debate on the impeachment resolution on the House floor, Barr argued that Clinton's attempt to interfere with Lewinsky's testimony in the Paula Jones case endangered the Constitution. In doing so, Barr said, Clinton violated what Barr called a "fundamental right" of any American citizen--"the unshakable right each one of us has to walk into a courtroom and demand the righting of a wrong."[62] Paula Corbin Jones (born Paula Rosalee Corbin on September 17, 1966, in Lonoke, Arkansas) is a former Arkansas state employee who sued President Bill Clinton for sexual harassment and eschewal. ...

Since leaving Congress in 2003, Barr has become a vocal opponent of the Patriot Act and has stated that he regrets voting for it, claiming that the Bush Administration has used it to further erode due process even in matters unrelated to terrorism. He claims that the Clinton administration did much of the same thing.[27] In 2005—the year the Patriot Act was due for renewal—Barr helped found an organization called Patriots to Restore Checks and Balances, a bipartisan group dedicated to eliminating aspects of the Patriot Act that could potentially affect law-abiding citizens rather than terrorists, and to "restore traditional checks and balances on government power so the country can effectively fight terror without sacrificing the rights of innocent Americans, rights that are guaranteed by the Constitution."[64] Barr still serves as the group's chairman.

Marijuana Policy Project

“ Regarding the drug war, I've been there, done that, and know firsthand our current strategy is not working. Continuing to have the federal government run roughshod over the states, even if the citizens of a state decide they wish to legalize medicinal marijuana, for example, is wrong. ”

—Bob Barr, May 22 2008[72]

In Congress, Barr's strong stance against medical marijuana put him at odds with marijuana policy reformers such as the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) (see War on Drugs in Congressional career above). Despite this historic antagonism, in March 2007, Barr reversed his stance on medical marijuana and began lobbying on behalf of MPP.[73][74][75] Incredibly, this new partnership saw Barr working to repeal his very own "Barr Amendment"—the amendment that overturned a voter-approved medical marijuana initiative in Washington, D.C.[72][73][74] and prohibits consideration of similar initatives.[42] Cannabis sativa extract. ...
