Enemy Of The State
Those remaining afore-mentioned wild-eyed
bomb-throwing liberal moonbats, who did not infiltrate the congress and senate, are now in the ACLU.
Problem ... in order to sue someone, you have to prove that someone’s action directly effected you. No one here can prove that claim! CASE CLOSED! Now get the f… out of my courtroom and stay out!
:rulez:Further proof of the presence of traitors and useful idiots within the ACLU and the Democratic Party aka the Party of Treason.

You can see which way this one is being spun just from the headline calling it “domestic spying”. It’s not. It’s international eavesdropping. Okay, spying or monitoring if you like, but it’s international, which is the job of the NSA.
The days of Secretary of State Henry Stimson’s attitude that “gentlemen do not read other gentlemen’s mail” are long over. We’re not dealing with gentlemen here. We’re in a fight with creatures that would destroy us and we can’t afford to be gentlemen about it.
I see no difference between monitoring a communication between Iran and Syria and monitoring a communication between Pakistan and the U.S.. We need to keep an eye on this stuff.
If you want to talk to your aunt in the old country, that’s fine. My family does it all the time. Nobody cares. If you’re planning on bombing the local strip mall then I think we need to know.
Wasn’t aware of the lawsuits until just now. I’ve been following this one over at Red State, Instapundit, and Volokh’s sites among others. As near as I can tell from my reading, the lawsuits are probably not going to have any standing. I’ll be the first to admit that those folks know WAY more about it than I do, but it seems to me that type of intelligence gathering is covered under the Presidential powers that were granted. Can’t see, other than nuisance value, what good these types of things are going to do and really don’t figure that it will stop them from doing what they were doing. Releasing the information in the first place is the crime, as now people know they are listening as opposed to suspecting they were listening. We lose the edge we had and will have to develp other sources of information.
“Can’t see, other than nuisance value, what good these types of things are going to do...”
EGG ZACKLY!!.
It’a all political - aided, abetted and enhanced by most of the MSM.
Where are the headlines when Dick Durbin, Jay Rockefeller and Ron Wyden leak information about CIA “black ops” satellites? An investigation that seems to have gone away without any notice at all.
Was there any questions or even a headline when Jay Rockefeller went to Syria before the invasion of Iraq to tell them what we were going to do? Of course not. Gotta wonder where those WMDs went, eh?
Anything that hurts America seems to be polically correct these days. Hey, it might get the party back into power and that’s worth it to these folks. They put the security of our country behind their own ambition.
