Quote of the Day

A judge has ruled President Bush's warrantless domestic surveillance program was illegal. (This is actually the third time a judge has ruled the program illegal.) As the NYT observes, candidate Obama said the same thing, but the Obama Administration has instead generally backed the Bush Administration, following the useful "principles" that they would also like to be able do what they please and no one important should ever be punished anyway. Rush Holt asks the key question:

"Where does this leave the Obama administration? That's a good question."

An unwarranted intrusion (4.00 / 1)

It is illegal and a violation of our civil liberties - literally an unwarranted intrusion. If they have reason to be suspicious of an American they should get a warrant.

President Obama may not want to be seen as a weak Commander-in-chief or aiding a would-be American terrorist. However, a wise Commander-in-Chief follows the rule of law and the constitution which have served us well.


"The work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die." - Sen. Ted Kennedy


Obama WORSE than Bush (0.00 / 0)
on national security state issues.
