1 edit | The last administration that wasn't anti Civil Liberty was.. Hmmm. Jefferson?
Look at the government's argument for anytime-monitoring-of-anyone.
quote:
"When a cell phone user transmits a signal to a cell tower for his call to be connected, he thereby assumes the risk that the cell phone provider will create its own internal record of which of the company’s towers handles the call.
Thus, it makes no difference if some users have never thought about how their cell phones work; a cell phone user can have no expectation of privacy in cell-site information."
The Obama admin claims that the act of transmitting a cell signal
presumes we are responsibly able to assume the risk
of our provider creating records of our activity.
Problem with that.
We have can't prevent our provider from creating records of us.
Yet the Obama administration insists we assume the risk for an activity, they know is beyond our control.
And that is their basis for warrantless monitoring of each and any American.
Who wants 4 more years of this thinking (or 8 more years or 12 more)?
Seriously, who do you vote for when both candidates are on the same side, and it's the side that sees you as property?
Obama has cleanly adopted every privacy eroding measure introduced in the Bush administration.
I've no reason to believe Romney wouldn't do the same. Certainly McCain would have.
The only idea I have is to maintain a line of single-term-PotUS until they get the idea.
Oh yea. Burn the press for consistently failing to properly cover an issue that will impact us for lifetimes.

 I do not think that it is the President trying to erode citizens rights, I believe it is the Justice Department. Historically the Justice Department has said anything as an excuse to erode citizens rights, one of the more popular excuses is to protect the children. Until the legislative branch creates new laws to protect citizens privacy rights the Justice Department will try anything to erode citizens privacy. I believe that any US Attorney General would try to expand schemes to erode citizens rights. It is just that Eric Holder that is in the hot seat right now.
I do not believe that the Justice Department cares about protecting citizens rights, it is just about schemes to win high profile cases. This tantrum the Justice Department just pulled is because they are pissed of at the Supreme Court's decision that attaching GPS devices to a vehicle requires a warrant. |

By which you mean the Attorney General. And the AG is appointed (and subsequently supported) by who?

Romney would do the same as Obama. It's not a question of R vs D, but just the way the government works and thinks these days.
Like your sig about campaign contributions and bribery, but there are plenty of other ways to bribe candidates and officials. |
