We know well that the war on terror, and other such dire national security needs are as nothing to the insecurity heaped upon us by Wall Street and ball busting costs of Healthcare.

So, what is this shit all about, really? What is the government afraid of, really?

Could it be the rabble?

Hey, here’s an idea: How’s about we get a law done that makes it a criminal offense to introduce legislation that would have the effect of criminalizing pre-crime?

President signed appropriations bill for "Homeland Security" which also contains a provision that the DOD can suppress photos of prisoner "abuse".

Personally, I find all of this SHOCKING!

I thought we haz Constitutional scholar as President; where did all that scholarliness go to? Maybe all that scholarly goodness never extended all the way to Amendment Number Four (must be why he ain’t much on the 6th and 8th Amendments either)…..

I trying to figure out under these rules, whom the FBI COULDN’T fish for.

Anybody who buys gasoline or heating oil. Anybody who uses a library. Anybody who uses wiki.

Try to imagine the life you’d have to lead for the constitution to protect you from the FBI. You can’t lock yourself in your home, as the angry loner is a well known risk. You can’t buy nasal spray, rubbing alcohol, or peroxide. You have to be very careful what you watch on TV, as Directtv/dish can know what you’re watching any time the FBI asks. Do they track all people who DON’T watch 24?

“Proactive Law Enforcement” It’s probably a fad. Got its own seminars ‘n’ everything.
