People On No-Fly List Can Sue In District Court

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "According to a new ruling, those put on the No-Fly List can challenge their inclusion in federal court. Previously, they had to go directly to an appellate court, which would deprive them of any chance to subpoena documents or witnesses and make gathering evidence difficult or impossible. Knowing the government, they will get around this by creating a 'No-Sue' list and making it even harder to change your name."

    No, no, people are brainwashed enough to think that if they can still have their gun, they're not living in a totalitarian state.

    You don't need to take people's guns away if you've already poisoned their minds with your crap.

    Bah. There are still plenty of folks whose minds have not been poisoned by their crap and who also have guns. Look for them. They'll be the ones shooting at government officials when the revolution comes.

    Furthermore, any creation of 'No Sue' list as mentioned would be a violation of your Constitutional right to petition the government for a redress of issues.

    Yes, but those petty dictators in the White House have done exactly that.

    "Immunity" they call it. For example, American contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan are "immune", and telecoms are "immune" and the torturing beasts that ran Abu Ghraib are "immune" and Karl Rove, Harriet Meiers, Monica Goodling, Roberto "Abu" Gonzalez, Scooter Libby, and whoever else that little dry-drunk cocksucker in the White House decides to "pardon" are also immune.

    Go ahead you dumb fucks. Tell me how that doddering bitter racist old coot with anger management problems, John McCain, who owes all kinds of favorst to the lobbyists and oil companies, is the best choice for president. How he's going to start turning this bitch around before we're no better than Pinochet's Chile. How he's better than a constitutional scholar for running the executive branch.

    You don't have the right to not be afraid. Sorry, but your phobias aren't my concern.

    It's only abuse if the people know what is happening. I don't think that is true. Second, ALLEGEDLY reelected. I doubt Bush/Cheney were legally re-elected.
