Gee, George shows a change of heart and wants to follow "that piece of paper" as he called it. To you and me is called Constitution.

The U.S. Constitution only has value and serves a purpose when President Bush wants to claim it's what allows him to do what he needs to do, the Congress and the American people are not allowed to use it, only him! Like a little kid hogging a toy and won't let anyone else play with it!
It always amazes me when people treat the Constitution like some sort of smorgasbord having no problem emasculating the First Amendment while whining about anything that hints at the Second.

I don't know if they'd want to fly them over some parts of town. Since a lot of gang bangers have been joining the service for war training they've become pretty good shots. And that's to say nothing of all of us other vets who resent the idea of someone peeking into our backyard while nude hot-tubbing with the neighbors. Some of us haven't lost our shooting eye either.
And the idiots who use it, should be asked if they would agree to have 24 hour surviellance cameras installed in their bedrooms, to monitor their s*ex lives, to ensure that they and their spouses are not engaged in any illegal activity, like the use of p*rostitutes or child p*ornography as stimulants.

Funny how quickly they change their tunes when it's their bedrooms, phone calls and emails being listened into. they think it'll only happen to "the enemy" and forget that Bush says he can declare any American citizen to be "The enemy" and do whatever he likes to them. Here's hoping they get pick up in the middle of the night and hauled off to Gitmo for some water-boarding.

Sadly it's already here - and being used rampantly in Britian to monitor every aspect of their lives. Drones - small enough to enter homes and private properties. Powerful enough to see into your living rooms from miles away. Moore was not far off with the Farenheit thing - they need to remake the movie. You never would have thought that our leadership would turn the meaning of America fictional.
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drone aircraft, are about to be launched for the first time by the police in Los Angeles.
UAVs have long been used by the military in war zones such as Iraq or Afghanistan. But the technology has been adapted for domestic use and could revolutionise the way law enforcement agencies carry out surveillance and rescue operations.

It has never been shown that the warrantless spying on Americans was necessary to protect this country from terrorists. It hasn%u2019t been shown that he couldn%u2019t have done everything necessary and obeyed the law. It hasn%u2019t been shown that his illegal spying actually accomplished anything to defend the nation.
Even worse, no one outside the executive branch even knows how much defending the nation has to do with this presidential usurpation of powers. No one knows just whom this administration has been spying on, and why. Given what else we know of how they%u2019ve dealt with critics, how can we know for sure that all this spying hasn%u2019t included targets for other, illegitimate purposes%u2014like going after their domestic opponents? Yet the administration gives no evidence demanding simply, %u201CTrust us.%u201D
We really don%u2019t know why they were willing to break the law in order to avoid telling a judge what they were up to.

Everything the chimp asks for, or supports, has to be suspect. One only has to reflect upon the chimps honesty, and perversion of the laws.
The chimp will lie while he smiles at you, he has no honor what so ever.
Don't give any more of our rights away on the say-so of a much despised, and untrusted, president.
