    hey, if clinton did it once, it's okay for bush to do it 50,000 times, right?

    "Congress authorized Bush to use "all" means. Sounds pretty authoritative to me."

    sorry, but when congress authorized bush to use all means, they didn't mean "even the ones that violate federal law and the constitution". i really didn't think that congress needed to start putting that qualifier into bills, but apparently bush has demonstrated it's necessity.

    sigh.

  4. Re:It will be extended only to a certain extent on Senate Proposes Patriot Act Extension · · Score: 1

    unfortunately, politics these days pretty much guarantees that any politician who's given the mic for more than 5 seconds absolutely has to bust out some kind of slam against the other party. or blame all the problems in the country on them.

    "i'm glad that we could pass the defense bill, despite the objections by the adulterous wing of the democratic party"

  5. nice try on The Future of Tech And NSA Wiretaps · · Score: 1

    you fail to point out that both clinton and carter's orders include this lil gem..

    if the Attorney General makes the certifications
    required by that section.


    meaning that any searches have to comply with FISA. so no, neither president violated FISA like bush is doing.

    way to try to, as the president puts it, 'catapult the propaganda' tho. golf claps all around.

    actually, the experts were ignored in the WMD case. only the loony guys like chalabi who told the administration what they wanted to hear were payed any attention.

    meanwhile, the CIA experts calling the data into question were soundly ignored.

    if they can get people to buy the pop they are more likely to think, "Oh I think I should get X while I'm here."

    the bill of rights doesn't bestow rights upon the people, it states what particular rights the government is diswallowed/limited from infringing. the bill of rights doesn't mention the right to yell 'goal!' at a football match either.
