All these new NSA, Patriot laws are trivial compared to Article 9, Section 1. With a majority vote, Congress can lock you away forever.
Idiots of America voted these politicians into office that created such programs. We deserve the country we have right now.

regardless of the violations involved there is a context that there was actually a major physical war going on, same thing with Japanese internment, not some imaginary endless perpetual war against the entire world used to justify such things.

What is your point? That we shouldn't care about the NSA stuff because of this? Or that we should strive to get rid of that section?

It's like worrying about a cockroach in the room when there is a velociraptor next to him.
Analogy is silly, but let me go with it. So because of a velociraptor that has been chained up for 150 years, we shouldn't worry about roaches all over?

Woah woah woah, that raptor definitely got out 70 years ago.

Secrecy Trumps Public Debate in New Ruling On LA's License Plate Readers | Electronic Frontier Foundation

In a ruling that will harm the public's ability to engage in an informed debate over the use of automated license plate readers (ALPR) in California, a judge late last week rejected EFF and the ACLU Foundation of Southern California's argument that the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department should hand over a week's worth of license plate data.

But the ruling isn't what you might think-the court didn't decide that location information is too private and too sensitive to release to the public. Instead, the court held that the ALPR data qualifies as the kind of investigative record police can keep secret and that the harm to law enforcement investigations from disclosing data outweighs the value to the public of seeing what data police collect on them. If you think that sounds like a big, blank check to California police to build surveillance programs outside of public scrutiny, you're right.

When Attkisson alleged in "Stonewalled" that a computer intruder once wiped data off the computer screen in front of her at breakneck speed, computer analysts consulted by Media Matters chalked up the disturbing event to a stuck backspace key.
She should leave the forensics part to the professionals.

Who is that? Atkisson or the writer of the article? Cause Atkisson does have forensics professionals.

White people only riot and burn shit when their shitty sports team wins a game and minorities only riot and burn shit when some thug gets ventilated.
Say what now? When did white people ever riot because their team won?

Are you joking? I remember downtown Dallas getting destroyed every time the Cowboys won the Superbowl in the 90's.

Oh that's right. I forgot Dallas passed that law in 1989 outlawing blacks inside the city limits.

Why don't you watch the footage again. Looks like a coupla them sneaky fuckers got back in. Even if you choose not to call it a 'black riot' because there were some honkys getting their asses beat (and maybe one getting arrested at about 3:50), you still can't call it white people rioting.

Actually, there might not have been many whites there. That video makes it look like it was the Martinez Family versus a bunch of black kids.
