Comments on: Judge Strikes Down Parts Of Patriot Act

Says Law Allowing FBI To Silence Those Ordered To Turn Over Private Records Is Unconstitutional

yeah, political appointment of judges is all Bush and his cronies have been doing. Its not to further Conservative principles at all. Its to further GOP Agendas to use as political power tools to manipulate our judicial, congressional, and electoral processes to a beneficial outcome to republican party members and an opposite outcome to any other party.

Good a judge with balls that''s why we have seperation of powers. THis just was way to easy to abuse. Our forefarthers were not stupid. Though the political appointment of judges is sticky.

Just a little tragedy and we all start saying that something has to be done about it. Terrorism act, hate crimes bill, patriot act, campaign finance reform, telecommunications decency act, lots of bills getting passed that strip away our rights. What will we demand be taken away next?

===You haven''''''''t personally lost one of your constitutional right in the last 6 years.===

An ignorant argument. Once you give the government a power, it is almost always impossible to take it back and becomes a slippery slope. A slope where people are willing to give up more and more until it does start affecting them. But by then, it is already too late.

Always remember that the Patriot Act, hundreds of pages long, was supposedly written in two short weeks after 9/11 and was never given a hearing or otherwise reviewed because somebody mailed deadly anthrax letters to the Democratic leaders, only the Democrats, in the Senate which totally shut down their offices, accesss to their computers, files and mail for five months until the Republicans could take majority control. The source of this highly refined anthrax was determined by the FBI to have been the Fort Dietrich Army lab in Maryland.

Bush may be an abysmal failure and an eternal nightmarish fvck-up, BUT.... this particular version of the Patriot act just like the no holds barred NAFTA-trucking geveaway--are all courtesy of a Democratic Congress. They may doubt the veracity and honor of Gonzales and Bush, but it seems not to stop them in the least from revving up spy planes, wire tapping and running with the ugly ball that Bush launched and then dropped.


Democrats only consolation will be that when the next despot and move toward a police state occur (most likely in 2009) their team will be at the helm and the team who cheered it all on and excused it will be at their mercy. But THAT is about the only good thing--a knife cuts both ways and if you beat with a stick, when the other guy is in power, he can also use the same stick to break your azz too.

In the not-so-distant future... "Freedom? What''s that?", asks your 8 year-old great granddaughter. "Shhhhh", your grandson says as he glances around. "Never say that word again, honey. They are always listening". He quietly walks out of her bedroom. The government computer records "possible future subversive" in your great granddaughter''s file.

Good night kiddies.

Cheney''s closest adviser David Addington said,
"We''re one bomb away from getting rid of that obnoxious [FISA] court."

These people want to systematically tear down every institution of checks and balances in this country. If it takes a terrorist strike or 20, then that''s OK with them. Just more lessons they learned from the NAZI playbook on power:

%u201CIt was, as one of his colleagues confirmed, almost a happy day for him when famous buildings were destroyed, because at such time he put into his speeches that ecstatic hatred which aroused the fanaticism...%u201D - Joseph Goebbels, Nazi Propaganda Minister

"it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ... Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country." - Hermann Goering, Nazi leader
