... morphed into probable cause of speaking to a foreign person. And that morphed into probable cause of speaking to any person who has ever spoken to a foreign person. All of this happened in secret. This slow but persistent destruction of the right to be left alone, which is ostensibly guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment, came about not only by secrecy and the absence of adversaries but also by judicial gullibility...

Historic changes are on the way... We were so close to becoming a police state ... with the 'best' of intentions.

I rarely agree with the Judge any more, but on this opinion, he's correct.

When all government ...in little as in great things... shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power; it will render powerless the checks provided of one government on another, and will become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1821

Nixon was absolutely right on this:

: Nixon claimed that foreign agents physically present in the U.S. agitated and aggravated his political opponents to produce the great public unrest in America in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and thus diminished Americans’ appetite for fighting the Vietnam War.

For the first time in years, I am Happy With Nappy!

[Ken H]

Tip of the iceberg.

Sorry, Nappy. I no longer believe you and am no longer interested in what you have to say.

What is the downside of an unconstitutional act? The worst penalty is a “strong news release.” So why should we care whether or not something is unconstitutional? Hillary erases federal evidence, no problem, Comey lies under oath, no problem, Obama....

[RatRipper]

Too late, Nappy . . . you squandered your credibility

[lakecumberlandvet]

I still don’t care what Nap has to say about anything.
