The president has put in place an organization that contains the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life. That’s going to be very, very powerful. That database will have information about everything on every individual in ways that it’s never been done before.” -— Maxine Waters, 2013

Our Government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the Government becomes a law-breaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. To declare that in the administration of the criminal law the end justifies the means — to declare that the Government may commit crimes in order to secure the conviction of a private criminal — would bring terrible retribution!!

– Louis Brandeis (1856-1941)

There will always be a special place in my heart, and one at my table, for anybody who calls Stefan Halper a Ratfucker in a court document. My heart is touched. May she prevail the living shit out of him.

Normally I would disagree with the woman, however, I hope she gets more than $25 million in damages from longtime University of Cambridge academic Stefan Halper, as well as, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The Washington Post and MSNBC. 8>)

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.

I am wondering if George Papadopoulos can sue some of these people also?
