If their is another attack and if it comes in thru our borders expect a major push to be made for Biometric 'secure' national ID cards to be made mandatory for the purchase of most products taxed by the federal goverment.
That is the same logic that was used by the RNC when the CFR bill was passed and signed into law. They thought the USSC would throw it out and they would get to play both sides of the issue, didn't quite work that way, did it?
Yes, that is what I am saying. Neither does the average GOP voters. IF they did the campaigns for higher office would have to cover them in more detail than a 20 second sound bite can.
Both political parties depend on people making decisions based on how they feel, not on what they know and can prove true.
In typical govement fashion this may not really solve the problem or it may go after it with such a broad brush that things like cookies will be banned.
We will have to wait till someone posts a link to the law itself to see what was actually passed as DC has a habit of passing laws that do the complete opposite of what they say they do.
Hell, go for Dogbert. He is at least upfront about what he wants.
Genetically he may be a dog, but Dogbert is no man's best friend. He treats people with disdain, reserving special contempt for Dilbert, who's no master--or match--for Dogbert. (Although he wouldn't admit it, if push came to shove, he'd protect the bumbler. And never let him forget it).
His not-so-secret ambition is to conquer the world and enslave all humans. He anointed himself St. Dogbert, and as such takes special delight in exorcising the demons of stupidity.
Then explain why our borders are almost unprotected? We have much more advanced tech monitoring the afg/pak border than we do monitoring the US borders.
It ain't about the terrorists, it is about controling US citizens.
No, he sticks to what he believes. Read his website and see.
While we may not agree with how he voted, it is rather nice to have a rep in DC that isn't a complete and total whore who changes their mind 50 times per second.
They reason why Rep. Ron Paul voted against it is that he really sticks to what he believes, and one of the things he believes is that the goverment should stay out of transactions between private citizens.
I am not one way or another if I think he voted correctly on this or any issue in the past, but you have to admire one of the few people in DC that doesn't sell out what they believe.
AC's use a lot more power than that 1000-1500 watts and can run a lot in the south. As for power plant construction several plants are being built in OK as of 18 months ago and they may be online now. I haven't been near them since them so I do not know their current status.
The USA PATRIOT Act significantly expanded law enforcement authority to surveill and capture communications. There are three major laws that create the framework for the government interception of communications:
* Title III: Requires probable cause, a high legal standard to meet, from a judge for real-time interception of the content of voice and data communications. See EPIC's Wiretapping Page.
* Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA): Governs government access to stored email and other electronic communications. Within ECPA, the Pen Register statute governs real time interception of "numbers dialed or otherwise transmitted on the telephone line to which such device is attached." Although the use of such devices requires a court order, it does not require probable cause: there is no judicial discretion, and the court must authorize the surveillance upon government certification. A government attorney need only certify to the court that the "information likely to be obtained by such installation and use is relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation." Therefore, the Pen Register and Trap and Trace statute lacks many of the privacy protections found in the wiretap statute.
* Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA): Authorizes the government to carry out electronic surveillance -- against any person, even Americans -- in the United States upon obtaining a judicial order based upon probable cause that the target is a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power. FISA, which applies primarily to the government's power in foreign intelligence and counter-intelligence cases, therefore does not offer many of the protections required under the federal wiretap statute. See EPIC's FISA Page.
Title III governs the "contents" of communications, defined as "any information concerning the substance, purport, or meaning of that communication." The Supreme Court has held that the contents of a communication are entitled to full Fourth Amendment protection. Therefore, the government's access to "content" information is limited by constitutionally imposed search and seizure requirements. In order to abide by these constitutional restrictions, Title III imposes strict limitations upon the government's ability to obtain communication content:
* a law enforcement agency may intercept content only pursuant to a court order issued upon findings of probable cause to believe that
1. an individual is committing one of a list of specifically enumerated crimes,
2. communications concerning the specified offense will be intercepted, and
3. "the pertinent facilities are commonly used by the alleged offender or are being used in connection with the offense."
* Only designated officials can authorize such interception,
* The interception is authorized for a limited time period.
* Interception is subject to a statutory exclusionary rule: any information intercepted in violation of the wiretap statute cannot be admitted into evidence in any judicial or administrative proceeding.
Conversely, the Supreme Court has held that there is no constitutionally recognized privacy interest in the telephone numbers intercepted by a pen register or trap and trace device. In U.S. v. New York Telephone Co., 434 U.S. 159 (1977), the Supreme Court emphasized the limited information captured by pen register devices: "neither the purport of any communication between the caller and the recipient of the call, their identities, nor whether the call was even completed is disclosed by pen registers." This is reflected in the ease with which law enforcement officers are able to obtain trap and trace/pen register installation: upon the certification by an attorney that pen register information is likely to be relevant, the judge must approve the installation of the device.

He thinks we should have invaded Iraq. He thinks we should give nuclear materials to Iran. He thinks that operations in Bosnia are OK.
Kerry believes almost the exact same things as the current admin does. If he didn't he would have introduced leglisation to do what he thinks should be done. He hasn't, so he must agree with the current methods as he IS NOW in a postion to do something about it and he has not.

Please provide a link to the full text of the law and any enabling rules that executive branch orgs have written to enforce said law.
If you can not do this you do not know what the law does, you just know what they SAY it does. That is a major difference.

The same logic was used days after 9/11/2001 to pass the usa patriot act.
That way of thinking isn't a sane way for a goverment to run.
Please let me know who I contact at the GOP to get an astro-turfing contract like yours.

Osama has sold out Islam as portions of the Quron teach against what he has done.
Bush has sold out per his dealings and love of China even though they have a forced abortion policy.

The thing is that people like Kerry even less. Why the DNC picked Kerry is beyond me.
