If your refering to the Padilla case the supreme court will be reviewing the case to see if the government has overstepped its authority.
But, that is how the system is supposed to work. In new legal areas such as this the supreme court has the final say not the president.
By the way he is being held under the section of the Geneva Connection concerning enemy combatants which has nothing to do with the Patriot Act. Would you like to try again?
Yes, it's time to dust off your Che pin and get the tie dye t-shirt dry cleaned.
One of the cornerstones of the republican party is to provide for a strong national defence and this project supports that. Providing for national defence is one of the few roles for the government enumerated in the constitution.
Since your so familiar with the bill of rights could you please tell me where the right to privacy exists? You'll find that it doesn't.
Atleast, I am not an anonymous coward. You see thats another part of freedom of speech. I don't have to worry about the gov kicking in my door for what I say. As current history shows most europeans are anonymous cowards.
I didn't see the post that you are referring to but here in America we have something called the first amendment. It's part of our constitution. It states "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." Which basically means that in the US you can say pretty much what ever you unless it falls under the fighting words doctrine that is usually interpreted very narrowly by the courts.
Now, the EU on the other hand doesn't have a constitution yet but article 54 of the proposed EU constitution provides no such "absolute" guarantee of free speech.
I can see how you might find this disturbing since our constitution is over 200 years old and you haven't got one yet and you probably won't be able to enjoy the same rights that we have in America.
So if we offend you it's not our problem. It's how we where raised. Blame our parents, their parents, and so on. But eventually you will have to blame yourselves. If I recall correctly America was a colony at one time founded by people fleeing oppression in Europe. It's a shame that that oppression is still going on today. You might want to consider fleeing as well.
The US can't afford to send people to Mars but we can afford to send 2 chinese into space?
62 percent of all shoes and sneakers imported to the United States are made in China. So are 83 percent of all toys and sporting goods, 54 percent of all leather products, 76 percent of all umbrellas, 30 percent of all furniture, and one in four caps and hats.
The US China trade deficit is about $82 billion dollars (last time I checked) and the Apollo program only cost about $25 Billion.
I'm not sure what my point is but I'm sure there is one.
This report is simply an attempt to inform the general public about what's been happening.
The general public with never read this study. They will read about it on/., the Sydney Morning Hearald, the New York Times, and the Guardian. And as we all know those are totally unbiased sources of information.
It's not flaimbait. It's the truth. You all rant about how the big bad corporations have undue influence over the government but yet you ignore the fact the organizations like the the UCS are funded by another big money group. Unions. I guess what Sun Tzu said is true. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Stolen from a website: THE HOLY dot -- chandlo or bindi -- is auspicious makeup worn by young Hindu girls and women on their foreheads.
Bindi is derived from bindu, the Sanskrit word for a dot or a point.
The positioning of the bindi itself is significant. The area between the eyebrows is known to be the seat of latent wisdom. It is said to control the various levels of concentration attained through meditation. It signifies the mystic third eye.
The bindi, normally a vermilion mark, has a religious significance and is a visible sign of a person belonging to the Hindu religion.
A bindi also denotes female energy and is believed to protect women and their husbands.
Traditionally a symbol of marriage, it has now become a decorative item and is worn today by unmarried girls and women of other religions as well.
For a Hindu bride, the red colour of her bindi is supposed to promise prosperity for the home she is entering.
The mark makes her the preserver of the family's welfare and offspring. It is a symbol of auspiciousness, good fortune and festivity.
Significantly, when an Indian woman becomes a widow, she has to stop wearing this mark.
Myth is that the bindi protects the wearer from the bad eye of people but today the religious significance of the bindi is largely forgotten and it is worn as a fashion accessory.
The old, traditional bindi, kumkum, has been largely replaced by the "sticker-bindi".
Made of felt, with glue on one side, this is an ingenious easy-to-use substitute. It comes in all colours and designs: sequinned or studded with beads and glittering stones in different sizes. The price range depends on the texture, elaborate work and size.
Bindis hold a fascination for many for their attractive features.
It is an adornment that lights up your face and gives it a focal point.
The trend of wearing bindis these days is a fashion statement that is sweeping the west.
Singers like Madonna, Gwen Stefani and Shania Twain can even be seen on MTV wearing bindis.
Darwin doing on Mars? Wait a second...did he come back from the Galopagos via the Bermuda Triangle? I think we may have solved the mystery of all the crap that goes missing down there.
Every time I buy a Dell without Windows I get a free denial of service attack? Thats great, I am so tired of having to pay for that. This is going to ruin the MS business model.
get lost in the first place? As a Mac user it would be nice if Apple would include more info on how to actually use OSX and it's benefits. I for one am tired of manuals.
I used to use SGIs and when I first booted a new SGI system it woould run the "Out of Box Experience" which would give me the lowdown on the new features with a multimedia presentation. The Mac which is supposed to be the king of multimedia doesn't include anything like this beyond the flying multilingual "Welcome" intro.
I think linux distros could benefit from something like this as well if they would like to make inroads to the desktop.

There is no privacy for public records.
Could someone please tell me who has been harmed by the patriot act? I may have missed the news reports.

Remember when the union pensions used to fund the mob. This is who they fund now. Makes ya think.
Eventually...yes...but maybe not before the contest ends.
Not possible. Thats how politicians make themselves feel better.
