Bloomberg Says Interpretation of Constitution Will ‘Have to Change’ After Boston Bombing

In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday the country’s interpretation of the Constitution will “have to change” to allow for greater security to stave off future attacks.

“The people who are worried about privacy have a legitimate worry,” Mr. Bloomberg said during a press conference in Midtown. “But we live in a complex word where you’re going to have to have a level of security greater than you did back in the olden days, if you will. And our laws and our interpretation of the Constitution, I think, have to change.”

Mr. Bloomberg, who has come under fire for the N.Y.P.D.’s monitoring of Muslim communities and other aggressive tactics, said the rest of the country needs to learn from the attacks.

“Look, we live in a very dangerous world. We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms. New Yorkers probably know that as much if not more than anybody else after the terrible tragedy of 9/11,” he said.

Owns the media in NYC so no one really calls him on any of this.

the interpretation of Bloomburg will have to change after his Fascist Newspeak revealed his rotten core.

He's using an old line that is actually totally inaccurate and has a bushistic tone. They do not hate us for our freedoms, they despise our policies and blantant disregard for anything but control and profit.

So, when he says, "We know there are people who want to take away our freedoms" while he talks about giving them up essentially, one can easily denote that the "people" he is talking about includes him and his cronies.

There is no need at all to reinterpret the Constitution for the sake of predatory, shock and awe capitalists who, in the name of almighty profit and unbridled control, would like us all to become Serfs in their Neo-Techno-Fiefdom.

A resounding NO to that.

and their passwords. Then we can see if that information staves off future attacks.
