Judge finds NSA program unconstitutional

[guyone]

It's actually pretty simple. The Forth Amendment clearly states 'unreasonable'. In a time of war this action is very reasonable. A higher court which actually spends more time on Earth will smell the LSD emanating from the decision and reverse it.

This is America where 'progressive' Judges can contribute to the destruction of the country. It's their right.

In a time of war?

Would this be the civil war that shrubya and his neocon masters have spawned in Iraq?

Or the war on civil rights that was spawned by the so-called patriot act?

A couple of problems with this:

By statute, the United States is not currently at war. We can rattle sabers and foam at the mouth all we want, but in the U.S., war is a matter of law.

And even so, there is no precedent for allowing warrantless searches during a time of war. The entire body of established Fourth Amendment case law defines searches conducted wihtout the consent of a judge or magistrate as per se "unreasonable."

Congress enacted FISA to address the conflict between the requirements of the Fourth Amendment and exigencies of national security. But the NSA's "secret program" ignored FISA. That's why it's illegal.

You're right. It is pretty simple. Just not the way you think.

What happened to the Mission Accomplish in 2003? Did Bush lied to the American people again? Did Dick Cheney lie to the American people when he said that the insurgency is in its last throes? Bush talked about a long war and has pushed around his executive power.

Power Surge: The Constitutional Record of George W. Bush

Treachery revealed!!!

Listen to this idiots language on the ruling,

Anthony Romero called Taylor's opinion "another nail in the coffin in the Bush administration's legal strategy in the war on terror."

A "Nail in the coffin" on the legal strategy on the war on terror?

Are these people Americans or ideologists? The constitution is not a static instrument. It seems that in matters of national security, faced with a kind of war our founding fathers never dreamed of, article 2 TRUMPS issues of privacy.

Thank god the ACLU had no influence during WW2, otherwise you'd all be sucking dick in german.
