according to the article, the feds just want the data in order to help them argue a point of law Specifically, the Bush Administration wants to grab the data in order to argue that a law signed by the creature who desecrated the Oval Office in 1998 is superior to the free-market solution to parental concerns.
Is it time to give up on the pretense that these guys are any different from the Rats?

It's past time - this is all about data mining - I didn't catch this the first time around, but look carefully at the following:
In court papers filed in U.S. District Court in San Jose, Justice Department lawyers revealed that Google has refused to comply with a subpoena issued last year for the records, which include a request for one million random Web addresses and records of all Google searches from any one-week period.
They didn't ask for all Google searches for certain terms during a one-week period, they asked for all Google searches, period.
If they pulled this off, you could see Chicago, San Francisco, etc., wanting to get access to this data to see if there is anything they can use in their assault against the Second Ammendment.
