The White House strategy of turning supporters into snitches when they see “fishy” information about the health care debate may run afoul of the law, legal experts say. “The White House is in bit of a conundrum because of this privacy statute that prohibits the White House from collecting data and storing it on people who disagree with it,” Judge Andrew Napolitano, a FOX News analyst, said Friday. “There’s also a statute that requires the White House to retain all communications that it receives. It can’t try to rewrite history by pretending it didn’t receive anything,” he said. “If the White House deletes anything, it violates one statute. If the White House collects data on the free speech, it violates another statute.”

Oh, come on, a few more violations for Obama... A drop in an ocean.

Too late. I’ve already turned in/reported lots of people that I dislike. Damage done. :)

Point? There’s an illegitimate man in the White House. Isn’t that against the law?

Since when has obama given a flying rip about the law? Where is his real, full, birth certificate that will prove he’s even eligible to be President of anything beyond the garden club? How about those retro-active pay cuts (or pulling back bonuses already in the contract) he tried to impose on companies taking his bailout money? One word, ACORN. Or how about census? How about borderline interfering with a police matter in Cambridge?
