Thanks for this post. I have been chilled at the speech that Ashcorft gives over and over in order to grab new power. Let us win the war and solve the true problem and leave liberty intact. Also, that new cabinet post sounds dangerously close to a national police force.

Someone explain to me what is 'patriotic' about wanting to diminish America's freedoms. Patriotic or demagogic?

Careful, if you question the amazing expansion of the state of this past week you might get labeled a "terrorist." When I question this particular trojan horse that is what I am called.

Imagine if this attack had happened a year ago. Can't you just see everyone here rallying around President Clinton and cheering to push this exact same "reasonable" legislation through? Nooo? Funny...me neither.
Anyone here want President Hillary to have these powers?

"A far-reaching FBI proposal would require all broadband Net providers, including cable modem and DSL companies, to rewire their networks to support easy wiretapping by police."
At whose expense?
Amendment V
"...nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation."
This action, regulation, or law is blatantly unconstitutional.
If we U.S. citzens wish to have this type of access for wiretapping broadband data conveyance, then we citizens have to compensate the private property owners for that cost for public use.

If you have nothing to hide from President Hillary, you have nothing to fear.

Ever since the "anthrax" scare at the U.S. Supremes, there has been a judicial blank check for anything couched as "homeland security." Congress will pass unconstitutional laws, the president will sign the laws doubting the constitutionality, and 5 clymers in black robes will declare the laws to be constitutional. The inmates are running the asylum. Could be worse. Could be living in Spain and surrendering to terrorists at the ballot box.

Wow, that last article goes on and on about how bad it is to circumvent the 4th Amendment. I could almost believe I was reading DU today as I read their comments.
And there are many more articles like that above on their site. SO, these guys MUST BE PISSED ABOUT Bush Violating the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution... but their response seems so very strange to this recent development. Apparently, the remaining nut jobs at this declining sorry-ass excuse for a website are so desperate to support Bush in any way they can they've deluded themselves into believing that every President in the past has used no-warrent monitoring of communications of U.S. Citizens. It's really sad to see people with rational thought go down the crapper with mindless gibberish because they can't admit that the person they put into office is RAPING THE CONSTITUTION.
