A Law to Spy Back on Government Surveillance Cameras?
mattnyc99 writes "As the Senate begins debate today on wider new surveillance legislation, Instapundit blogger and University of Tennessee law professor Glenn Reynolds has an interesting op-ed as part of Popular Mechanics' cover story on the looming power of spy cameras in America. He cites numerous court cases to argue that our privacy concerns may be backwards, and that there should be a new law for citizen rights — that if Big Brother can keep an eye on us in public spaces, we ought to be able to look back. From the accompanying podcast: 'Realistically I don't think we're going to get much in the way of limits on government and business surveillance. So I think we should be focusing more on making it safe, on making it a double-edged sword.'"
He would need to pay for it somehow. This is when it would be gutted.
But it is pointless anyways. All the wishful thinking in the world won't get him elected. He won't be the next president and he won't be the next vice president. This just isn't the time for a black person to have that office. And I'm not saying that to be a racist, I'm saying that to be practical. Once he has to start pandering to the black groups he will lose white supporters and if he ignores them, he will be called an uncle tom or some other slur which will bring the white liberal racist against him. He, as well as any black man, is in a political no win situation for the office of president until some things get sorted out and resolved.
