Appeals Court OKs Warrantless Wiretapping

Estamos tan jodidos.

and if they're doing this, we are totally screwed.

We shall have to see what Obama tells us he will do to rectify this in his Second Administration.

SURELY...He HEARS our CRIES!

We have to get together for coffee one day when I'm down in the big city. I hope all is well with you!

So much has gone beyond since then. I think of those days as the HOPE...for something better where we might have had chance to stop Bush.

But...it was not to be...and Edwards imploded after that along with his "Two America's Message."

Still ...it's good to see Edwards Message Morph into 1% and OCCUPY. Even though Edwards was a dud with terrible personal problems......there's something still there out of the "message" that was created for him.

We have to hope.....

Good to see you.

Hope you can you can hold your breath for at least 8 years (Obama's 4 more, plus Jeb BushCo or another Re-Thug's first term).

The US Constitution is going down like the

or perhaps I missed your

*who sent his Justice Dept. to the Supreme Court to argue FOR warrantless GPS surveillance and strip searches for any arrestee?

*who has publicly defended and joked about TSA groping?

*whose administration remained silent about a federally coordinated, nationwide, violent crackdown on OWS?

*who signed his approval of indefinite detention?

*who oversees "kill lists"/targeted assassination of US citizens?

*under whose administration the NSA is building a massive spy center for warrantless access to the email and phone calls of all Americans?

*who has approved or overseen proliferation of drones in American skies, grants for provision of military drones to police departments, and general militarization of our police forces?

*who signed the internet-censoring ACTA and then tried to hide it from the American press by claiming "national security"?

*who supported Joe Lieberman's CISPA-like cybercensorship bill even before the mild privacy-protecting measures touted by the press were added to it?

*whose administration is quietly moving forward with plans for an internet ID?



.......That President?

I'm sure he'll get right on it.

...holy fuck!

This is nauseating, frightening, disgusting.

So the 2nd is still there.

The 3rd might still exist, but only on a technicality. You can't be forced to quarter troops in your home if we aren't at war, but it looks like we're going to be in a war for the next few decades, so I dunno how you'd check.

be worried about the 1st and 4th Amendments.

quickly realize that you cannot defend the 1st and 4th Amendments with 18th century, 19th century technologies like rifles or even 20th century technologies like AK 47s.

Whether or not the Second Amendment is inviolate is no longer the issue. We are way beyond it.

Drones, electronic surveillance, mind control, these are the authoritarian weapons of the future. Guns are not that relevant.

Well at least we know it's official now. The Truth is always a good thing to know.

20 grand for the plaintiffs, 2.5 million for the lawyers? Way better than the usual 30-50% split.

Regardless of the financials, this is a big hit against the 4th amendment. One more slap after the "Patriot" act.

..I guess it really is "just a piece of goddamned paper" after all....

What a sad, sad day for America...

You were always watched before, but now it's "legal" despite it being "unconstitutional."

Let's see...torture, domestic spying, strip searches, "show me your papers," assassination all legal now. Did we miss anything that the "Reds" or the Nazis were doing?

Is it serious yet?
