Warrantless Surveillance To Continue For Now

NormalVisual writes "It appears that the unconstitutional and controversial warrantless surveillance program being conducted by the Bush Administration can continue until an appeals court can hear the case, according to an AP article. The 6th Circuit ruled that while the lower court had ruled the program was unconstitutional, they felt that the case's chances before the appeals court and the possible danger to national security warranted their decision to let it continue despite the likelihood that the appeal process will take months."

    You are missing the point, we want immigrants. The stipulation is that the immigrants become Americans in that they speak English and meld into our society. It is the immigrants that want the US to become their old country that we Americans take issue.

    Sorry but most of us view people that want to destroy our way of life as an enemy especially ones that are barbaric enough to consider lopping heads off as civil.

    i will never understand why man has to have dominance over other men.

    Because quite honestly there isn't enough to go around, so those who are willing to knock others to the side are going to get what there is. Besides, dominance has its place too. Would you say that the police force dominating those who would dominate others is bad dominance?
