Appeals court backs Bush on wiretaps

WASHINGTON - A federal appeals court sided with the Bush administration Friday on an electronic surveillance issue, making it easier to tap into Internet phone calls and broadband transmissions.

The court ruled 2-1 in favor of the Federal Communications Commission, which says equipment using the new technologies must be able to accommodate police wiretaps under the 1994 Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, known as CALEA.

<snip>

But the appeals court said CALEA and the Telecom act are different laws and that the Supreme Court did not find that broadband Internet access was exclusively an information service. The two laws reflect different objectives and the commission made a reasonable policy choice, wrote Sentelle, an appointee of President Reagan.

Judge Janice Rogers Brown, who sided with Sentelle, is an appointee of President George W. Bush. Edwards was appointed by President Carter.

3. And how many Democrats rolled over her nomination
Edited on Sat Jun-10-06 09:59 AM by IndianaGreen
by NOT filibustering her?

Joe Lieberman was part of that "moderate" group that opposed filibusters. The only way to stop these Nazis from getting on the bench is by filibustering their nomination. Lieberman opposed filibustering Bush's Nazi judges, but then he turns around and votes "No" on a meaningless nomination vote, and makes himself look good by saying that he voted against the nominee.

This is why Vote Smart is so misleading. Most battles are won or lost in procedural votes!
