It's comforting to know that when that is the case, eventually the system will purge itself of the extremes to which we've resulted in order to find balance again. <BR/><BR/>In a way, I suppose that is the order of nature. Perhaps the order of politics as well. <BR/><BR/>Please see my site as well. <BR/>http://www.voiredire.blogspot.com/I.M.

Remember this country went through hell in order to shout to the world that we are the champions of freedom,liberty and equality.

And it's been done through FISA in the past, so it hasn't been done before this administration. <BR/><BR/>Republicans posited this ridiculous theory in hearings that presidents since George Washington have done this - that's absurd. <BR/><BR/>Most importantly, this is not a war, and if it is, then we have always been, and always will be at some form of war or another. Certainly, the Cold War was one, and this happened right after the Cold War. According to the administration, this will last for decades. <BR/><BR/>Decades of War? Sounds like a NeoCon wet dream to me.PD Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06067582064163477160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651032.post-1155918528430945412006-08-18T09:28:00.000-07:002006-08-18T09:28:00.000-07:00Well, gee, if an anonymous poster says it is not u...Well, gee, if an anonymous poster says it is not unconstitutional, then I guess that answers it.<BR/><BR/>I am willing to admit the slight possibility that the legality of the NSA program is debatable, but for the administration (Bush, Cheney, Gonzalez, et al.) to stand up and say that it is clearly legal is just ridiculous. If a multitude of legal scholars and judges think it is illegal, then it cannot be "clearly legal." That's just dumb.<BR/><BR/>Good for this judge. I'm sure the right wing will soon be calling her Judge Osama.123txpublicdefender123https://www.blogger.com/profile/16074278445586583355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651032.post-1155846207585851582006-08-17T13:23:00.000-07:002006-08-17T13:23:00.000-07:00The program is not unconstitutional and not wireta...The program is not unconstitutional and not wiretapping. It is also not new with this administration.<BR/><BR/>This decision will soon be stayed and then reversed by the 6th Circuit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
