Otherwise it is like Bush said, ” dictatorships aren’t so bad, as long as I’m the dictator”.

Besides, if Eric Holder can’t find the political spine to appoint a independent prosecutor to settle the accused Bush criminal abuses. when the president is republican and it most likely will be some day. Bush will pale in retrospect.

Sir,

As an American and a former supporter of yours, I am writing to tell you of my deep disappointment and growing disgust for your idea of what constitutes American Justice.

“Obama Administration Embraces Bush Position on Warrantless Wiretapping and Secrecy
Says Court Must Dismiss Jewel v. NSA to Protect ‘State Secrets’
San Francisco – The Obama administration formally adopted the Bush administration’s position that the courts cannot judge the legality of the National Security Agency’s (NSA’s) warrantless wiretapping program, filing a motion to dismiss Jewel v. NSA late Friday.

In Jewel v. NSA, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is challenging the agency’s dragnet surveillance of millions of ordinary Americans. The Obama Justice Department claims in its motion that litigation over the wiretapping program would require the government to disclose privileged “state secrets.” These are essentially the same arguments made by the Bush administration three years ago in Hepting v. AT&T, EFF’s lawsuit against one of the telecom giants complicit in the NSA spying.

“President Obama promised the American people a new era of transparency, accountability, and respect for civil liberties,” said EFF Senior Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston. “But with the Obama Justice Department continuing the Bush administration’s cover-up of the National Security Agency’s dragnet surveillance of millions of Americans, and insisting that the much-publicized warrantless wiretapping program is still a ’secret’ that cannot be reviewed by the courts, it feels like deja vu all over again.”

In Federal Court Case 3:08-cv-04373-VRW Document 18 Filed 04/03/2009

You (by means of your minions) said “PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that, on June 25, 2009 at 2:30 p.m., before Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker, the Government Defendants sued in their official capacity in this action will move to dismiss certain claims in the Complaint against them pursuant to Rule 12(b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and for summary judgment as to any remaining claims pursuant to Rule 56. The grounds for this motion are that the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction with respect to plaintiffs’ statutory claims against the United States because Congress has not waived sovereign immunity and summary judgment for the Government on all of plaintiffs’ remaining claims against all parties (including any claims not dismissed for lack of jurisdiction) is required because information necessary to litigate plaintiffs’ claims is properly subject to and excluded from use in this case by the state secrets privilege and related statutory privileges.

You sir, do not deserve the office of President. This unconstitutional assault on the civil rights of Americans shows your utter disrespect both for the laws of the nation and for those of us who voted for you. Be assured that I shall do everything in my power as a citizen to see you impeached and tried for High Crimes against the people of the United States of America.

Slainte Mtah!

Dazziling us all, again.

Good stuff, thanks for posting it.

Enjoy.

ASU whiffs POTUS

will not confer an honorary degree on this year’s commencement speaker, President Barack Obama, because “his body of work is yet to come.”

saw mention of Jane’s appearance on the twitter page – but didn’t see it until halfway through the show – so don’t know if she was on in the first 30 min.

This means unpleasantries.

Really disappointing. Esp. from a constitutional scholar. gag.
