I remember when the Fourth Amendment applied to Americans.
sigh.
I understand completely. I call it three strikes and we got you!
Spurs, Fantasy Football, and the Flaming Lips - suddenly I am "unique."
I remember when the Fourth Amendment applied to Americans.

Gonna need a ruling on this.
Deflection attempt...denied!
I can remember when Islamic extremists weren't parading around with signs that said "Behead all Non-believers."
[sigh]
come onnnee, come alllll
into nineteen eighty foouurrrrr
I remember when this country would fight wars to protect a cons utional way of life without the government seizing that war as an opportunity to infringe upon the rights of the people.
sigh.
Logging all Americans calling details is enormously powerful.
If you don't think the RNC and Karl Rove aren't salivating over the possibilities of getting that data on politcal enemies, you were born yesterday.
dubya/ head/rummy would love nothing better than to finish their pre-2000 wet dream of elevating the Executive to unfettered imperial powers, to do as they please "in the name of national security", while buggering both houses of Congress, and any political opponent and Democratic campaign contributor, while their at it.
You red-state right-winger have no idea of the evilness you have put into the WH.
Imagine the Dems abusing the laws the way the Repugs are, and you'd be all over the Dem WH with impeachment proceedings.
What war was that? the spanish civil war?
Ah, yes. The 18th century. We've been so fortunate to see no major changes since then.
We have an administration that barely believes the law applies to them running programs spying on everybody, and we have a Congress that won't make them stop or at least follow the law. The US is becoming China where security as defined by the government trumps freedom of the people.
You mean like FDR who had people's mail opened? No court order. Or had
all the Japanese put in camps, no court order. Or Lincoln who did his
thing. You really think your rights are being violated. Just get a
copy of your credit history from all the major credit reporting people. Hehehehe,
do you have a shock coming. The know everything about you, from the
git go. You people need to grow up just a little. Like someone said the
Cons ution is not a suicide pact. Looking at phone numbers is not
invading anyone's privacy. Not when you can go to any cafe, mall or just
walk down the street and listen to how many conversations. Get real.
I used to work there. Diddybop.
You thumbsuckers on the right slay me. A handful of misfits from the middle east get together and conspire to fly planes into buildings and you are ready to shred the cons ution. Please, protect me Mr. Bush!
Now go change your pants.
And you know this how? Because someone in the media hasn't printed it? Because the liar-in-chief says he isn't? As the right's folk hero used to say,
"trust but verify"
checks and balances. That's what we want, you know that cons utional stuff.
I am reading your posts and checkin' your PM's!
But you said the illegal domestic spying program was worth more than our (I'm assuming you mean liberals) piddly lives. I'm wondering how many piddly lives is it worth?
You Bush-haters are a bunch of knee-jerk lemings. This exact story was reported by the New York Times back in 2005 and nobody went ballistic. It's being regurgitated and sensationalized because of the recent naming of the new CIA Director who happened to be involved in the NSA intercept program -- and this one too.
Man, you people will jump on any piece of red meat thrown to you and act like a bunch of rabid dogs, won't you. Even if it's a putrid, maggot-infested, rotting piece that has been laying around IN PLAIN VIEW for months. Way to "hop-to" you idiots.
Oh, and if you think it's bad for the government to contract with the phone services to data mine calling patterns, you should take at look at Qwest's contract with its customers and see with whom else they can AND DO share this exact information.
The mere fact that Qwest isn't cooperating is vindication that the government isn't doing anything wrong. Otherwise, they'd of done it without the cooperation of any of the phone companies.
God, you people are idiots.
Nothing the administration has done, with respect to communications intercepts, is illegal. Combine that with the fact that over 66% of the public don't care or want them to continue, kind of leaves you out in the cold.
Nice spin job Yoni,
Uncle Sam will slip you the cash at the next gtg.
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!" -- Patrick Henry, 1775
Why does Patick Henry hate America?
What chains? Who's enslaved? Quick...give me some names.
And, if you think what the government is doing -- to protect your sorry ass, no less -- amounts to "chains and slavery," trying living under Sharia law for a few days.
, better yet, go live in Mexico; we owe them a few illegals.
The truth will come out, and when it does Bush will go down in history as the worst leader in the history of the United States.
I happen to hold the opposite view.
Typical deflection. You say, our president may be violating the US Cons ution and sending kids to die in a bull war, but you have no right to complain because it could always be worse. I say, it could always be better.
You think the truth will remain hidden?
