“… I heard this soundbite from Senator Harry Reid, when he says: ‘We just killed the Patriot Act’<\/i> and everyone cheered. And the President brought that up. And what does that<\/b> mean?<\/p>\n
The Patriot Act was created to make us safer. People are totally<\/i> gone off the rails in terms of the war on terror and the President is efforting to put it back and even if you don’t agree with it, if you happen to be a judge sitting at home with your robes and say according to the Constitution that I am reading that that is an illegal act, you CANNOT<\/b> disagree with the motivation the President is doing by eavesdropping on international calls and a very concentrated effort on suspected …”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This is the part I can’t stand: “you CANNOT<\/b> disagree with the motivation the President is doing by eavesdropping on international calls and a very concentrated effort on suspected …”<\/i><\/p>\n
Oh yes I can. Yes I do! I disagree vehemently.<\/p>\n
Where is the motivation based? Does it matter? No. It can turn into any monster at any point, EVEN IF the motivation intentions for this are pure and true to liberty and freedom in the U.S.<\/p>\n
It’s not like that though. The point of the US is that back in Lincoln’s administration they pulled junk out similar to that for the day they lived in. It’s so very similar, what is going on today … not a pure analogy, that’s not the point at all, it’s not an analogy, it’s similar things, not the same, but garments all made from the same cloth.<\/p>\n
No it’s not “privacy” but the right to live without being spied on in normal life, Judicial Review, Warrants, etc. Without that, what’s to stop them from listening in on International calls that we make? I don’t speak on the phone much at all, but my husband does and we have relatives in Europe and Australia. What is the criteria of “a suspect”. For awhile now it’s been that “if you look foreign you might be considered …” now it’s “if you make international calls you might be considered …” and where will that end? Give an inch, they’ll take a mile. Just y’all wait and see.<\/p>\n
Of course they listen in already when they want to without warrant. That’s not the thing I’m upset about, the listening part. It’s not at all. It’s the “making of a suspect” that goes without Judicial Review and can make Private Citizens into enemies of the State in 2 seconds flat about any old political agenda of any day now or future.<\/p>\n
