After this there is no Senator or House Member who voted for this that I will support. Ever again. I urge everyone with a blog, a voice, a vote everywhere to KICK THE MISERABLE LOW-DOWN UNAMERICAN PONDSCUM OUT!
Our "Elected Representatives" just caved AGAIN to Preznit 24% and gave him the immunity for his partners in crime and CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTORS by agreeing to grant them IMMUNITY for their clear violations of the FOURTH AMENDMENT TO THE US CONSTITUTION fucking RETROACTIVELY. WHAT AMENDMENT?
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
You know, it's not much clearer than that. All you wingnuts out there drinking the Kool-Aid wait until it's someone you don't want listening in on YOUR conversations and tell us how it's gotten a little oppressive around here. It's YOUR fuckin Dunce that brought it to you. Love it, embrace it, you own it too.
I'm gonna be sick.
Senate Democrats and Republicans reached agreement with the Bush administration yesterday on the terms of new legislation to control the federal government's domestic surveillance program, which includes a highly controversial grant of legal immunity to telecommunications companies that have assisted the program, according to congressional sources.
...
...It will include full immunity for those companies that can demonstrate to a court that they acted pursuant to a legal directive in helping the government with surveillance in the United States.
Such a demonstration, which the bill says could be made in secret, would wipe out a series of pending lawsuits alleging violations of privacy rights by telecommunications companies that provided telephone records, summaries of e-mail traffic and other information to the government after Sept. 11, 2001, without receiving court warrants. Bush had repeatedly threatened to veto any legislation that lacked this provision.
No, you know what? You all don't get to have that "in secret", this is an issue that transcends the bullshit veil of secrecy that this adminstration and its enablers have drawn over every FUBAR'd thing that they have done. Every single one of those should be played out in the open. What's there to fear? After all this is all RETROACTIVE. It's not like anything is happening now, is it?
The sun that beamed through the windows of the US Capitol after Watergate has seemingly gone down, and there seems to be no set time for it to rise again.
Remind me again about that Oath to "Support and Defend the Constitution from All Enemies, Foreign and Domestic".
