Both of us.

Roger that Basil ~ the old timers were on the ball ~ too bad the unwashed masses have relegated them to the dust bin of history.

"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds."
~~ Samuel Adams

Maybe it's time for another brush fire?

[G.Mason]

Please convince a few more. I'm 65 and holding ... Holding for a shot, or two, right between their traitorous, socialistic, beady little eyes.

And I'm not kidding.

[blackie]

Roger that, G.Mason. I'm 75 and well armed. ;)

An Armed Citizen, Is A Safe Citizen!

The Second Amendment...
America's Only Homeland Security!

Be Ever Vigilant!

[G.Mason]

Blackie ... I'm with you, and every one else who feels this way.

"The Second Amendment ... America's Only Homeland Security!" ... for those of us that will use it as intended ... there is no misinterpretation of the meaning. Not for me, anyway.

[Osage Orange]

I must have dyslexia...as I thought you said...the judge was acting in a gay parade.

[Osage Orange]

I am certain he will do just that. Congress has no right, under the Constitution, to take away the powers given to POTUS by that document.

Sorry to say....I'm not that certain.

[ColdSteelTalon]

Oh, Don't worry the NSA will heavily redact anything that poses a national security risk before releasing it. No Judge can order things like that. Not even the SCOTUS.

A person with a security clearance cannot even be forced to testify if uncleared people are listening.

[AndyJackson]

Sorry folks, but you are both wrong. Classification authority for national security information rests with the President and derives from Presidential executive orders. The Classification authority within any federal agency rests with the cabinet officer overseeing the agency. Sure folks further down the line mark stuff as classified, but actual authority is at the top. A Cabinet officer can declassify anything he wants, on his own say-so. Nothing is authomatically classified and only becomes classified because a human being adjudges that national security will be damaged if it is released. If no demonstrable damage to national security can occur then it is not properly classified.

This is why actual prosecutions and convictions for unauthorized disclosure of classified information are so rare. You must prove that it is deliberate and that actual damage to national security occurred. Failure to handle classified information in accordance with administrative procedures is subject to administrative sanctions, but has to fall into the gross negligence category before a criminal prosecution could occur.

[AndyJackson]

It is the responsibility of originating office to classify based on stringent guidelines.

Agency orders and classification guides, approved by the Secretary of the agency, classify the material. The office does not classify the material but merely marks the material appropriately according to the categorization of the information contained therein. If damage to national security would occur, but there is no guide saying that it is classified, then it is not classified until you apply to the agnecy and the approriate authorities declare the information classified, and the classification guides are appropriately ammended. Obviously it is handled carefully until the determination is made.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Agreed. See reply #13.

[GladesGuru]

"Is this so-called judge Teddy Kennedy's love child?"

Hardly likely. No, make that totally impossible. Liberal the Judge may be, and lacking in judgement, also. But probably not one person in his family drowns blondes in ponds, has killed them self skiing into a tree while playing football, wrecked a perfectly functional plane and killed all aboard, ad nauseam.

The judge is just a hyper-Liberal. That's bad enough.

Thanks Smartass. Seems like he should be prosecuted but what do I know!!

[Smartass]

The unlikely remedy, would be to jail members of the ACLU and district court judges for the duration of the war on terror! Both are after all, aiding and abetting our enemies. It would sure put a stop to all of this BS.

No government can fight a war like this, with continuous interference by a subversive group, coupled with the help of left-wing liberal judges. The ACLU purposely files court cases, in district courts friendly to their cause, fully knowing that their case will be assigned to a judge that will rule in their favor.

[potlatch]

I know. Sometimes all this stuff gets me down and I think maybe I should go back to my painting and sewing, lol.

[Smartass]

Also, the case is appeal able!

[Jacquerie]

Resumption of war . . .

Thanks for the long forgotten reminder.
