DIRTBAG! Posted by Cuban Exile on 2006-08-17 23:08:41 | What are you worried about? They might find out you just scored some really good bud? There is already a stay allowing this program to continue while it is under appeal. Which they immediately did. This activist judge will be overturned! Wake up & smell the coffee. Peas out! |
Why worry? Posted by wizeGurl on 2006-08-18 09:59:51 | What would we be worried about? How about precedent? If the courts rule that THIS president can illegally wiretap (they did pass the law expressly to make this kind of thing illegal--and last time I checked, it's not activist for a judge to rule that breaking the law is illegal), then every president from now on will have the same power. Yes, even ones that you might trust less than the current one, if that's possible. Will the same people cheering at the thought that Bush can listen in to protect them feel the same way when it's Hillary (or someone like her) on the line listening to them in secret? |
Posted by Pile on 2006-08-19 15:37:51 | The old "If you aren't doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about" line.
People today seem to have forgotten this idea of "the principal of the matter." All the bad shit in the world needs to land in their lap before they get upset.
It's a shame.
Beyond all this, the operative thing about these wiretaps is that there's no indication whatsoever that the administration couldn't use established, traditional recourses to get the wiretaps legally, so ironically, they're looking to set their own precedent, a very bad precedent. |

American Exile ? Posted by turk_182 on 2006-08-24 01:22:07 | Worried, be scared be very scared! King george started this as soon as he unpacked his bags in D.C., he allready had plans for Iraq. Why would he violate FISA when they could get warants 72 hours after the fact. Thats 9 months befor 9/11 and the anthrax. What is george curious about who is he listening to and for what reason? And you better hide your Social Security check because george wants that too.
And who you calling dirt bag, dirtbag ? |
