DOJ Fights To Bury Court Ruling On Government Surveillance

Posted by timothy on from the gotta-know-when-t'-holder dept.

coolnumbr12 writes with this IBTimes excerpt: "The Justice Department may soon be forced to reveal a classified document that details unconstitutional surveillance of American citizens. The Justice Department has fought to keep the document secret for about a year, but a recent court order demands that they respond to a formal request filed by the Electronic Frontier Foundation by next week, June 7, 2013."

    Yes, they're doing a great service. The republican party should be our watchdogs, but since they seem to cry "wolf" at every little thing, especially the starkly irrelevant and overstated, we have to rely on organizations outside the government to do any sort of digging on real problems.

    Are you kidding me? If there is anyone even more blatant in their support for the secret surveillance police state than the democrats, it would be the republicans.
