Part of Patriot Act Ruled Unconstitutional
Adam9 writes "According to Yahoo/AP, a federal judge has declared unconstitutional a portion of the USA Patriot Act that bars giving expert advice or assistance to groups designated foreign terrorist organizations. The ruling marks the first court decision to declare a part of the post-Sept. 11 anti-terrorism statute unconstitutional, said David Cole, a Georgetown University law professor who argued the case on behalf of the Humanitarian Law Project."
Yes, far inferior to an attorney general who actively seeks out and kills American citizens, but that could never happen. Could it?
Oh wait, it did. And we know how that re-election bid went.
As soon as a candidate better than W comes forward I will consider them, but the clowns the Dems are producing this year don't leave much choice. But then, Im in California so I'll probably do what I do every election (since the state only elects Democrats or actors) and vote for the third party candidate most likely to attract 5% of the vote.
Actually, it's neither. Check your facts.
Anyone who loves or hates any language, platform, or manufacturer, doesn't know what they're talking about.
For the Dean Supporters.
Dean has supporters?
While the treatment of Arar is appalling, it has nothing to do with the Patriot Act.
You've just described the French resistance, the founding fathers...
Did you even read his definition of terrorism? The part about violence against civilians? This was not an m.o. of the founding fathers, you fucking idiot. Go whine to your Democrat overseers.
