Carter appointee U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor has used the same kind of language that has become popular on left-wing blogs like Daily-Kos to slam the Bush family in the verdict she delivered today, declaring the NSA surveillance of terrorists unconstitutional.
In an irrelevant aside, she grabbed at the "King George" phrase thrown around in the left-wing blogosphere to launch a thinly-veiled attack on the President:
Our constitution was drafted by founders and ratified by a people who still held in vivid memory the image of King George III and his General Warrants.
In an allusion to the President's father, she went on, sounding like a DU member on hemp:
There are no hereditary Kings in America and no powers not created by the Constitution.
Further, she actually excuses and defends communication with terrorists:
For example, scholars and journalists such as plaintiffs Tara McKelvey, Larry Diamond, and Barnett Rubin indicate that they must conduct extensive research in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, and must communicate with individuals abroad whom the United States government believes to be terrorist suspects or to be associated with terrorist organizations.12 In addition, attorneys Nancy Hollander, William Swor, Joshua Dratel, Mohammed Abdrabboh, and Nabih Ayad indicate that they must also communicate with individuals abroad whom the United States government believes to be terrorist suspects or to be associated with terrorist organizations,13 and must discuss confidential information over the phone and email with their international clients.
This judge is not fit to be so called. She has become a crack-whore for the terrorists.

This is going to be kicked so far out of the SC it may not come down on Pluto. How did this Moron get through college....nevermind.

An analysis of the background "
You dont get it. That is not 'analysis', it's merely rhetoric, that plays off the common first name of our current President and the colonies last British King.
Analysis would require explaining why warrants are required now, when they have never before been required for foreign surveillence (these are international communications).
Do you recall the courts requiring warrants for our spying of Japanese communications in WWII????
"In an allusion to the President's father, she went on, sounding like a DU member on hemp"
"Ummm...you can't get high on hemp. Not very, anyway."
You're obviously NOT a DU member.
It doesnt take much to get them fully hallucinatory.
What she was really doing is writing the script for a (R) election ad.
"She's a TRAITOR."
No, she is just one more glaring example of the kind of stupidity rewarded by affirmative action. She is to be pitied. After a short pity party, she should be impeached.
She should be impeached NOW!

Well, that depends on how high the gallows are.
... unless your name is Clinton or Kennedy.
Bush needs to find a workaround--but whatever happens, in effect, the ruling needs to be ignored. Anna Diggs Traitor isn't charged with protecting America from terrorism, so she can shove it as far as I'm concerned.
Oh, and that goes for the ACLU too.
"She should be impeached NOW!"
Agreed, but the political reality is that the gutless, do-nothing congress will not be able to find the time for an impeachment. Hell, they've got bacon to be makin', and vital bloviating to do.
We should start a list of affirmative action disasters; people that attained high positions simply because of their race, sex, or (enter choice of victimization here) _____________.
I'll kick off the list with Colin Powell.
Oh, I drag it out and watch my husband squirm every few months. I'd say it'll be good for years more of fun.
Can we say PREJUDICE?
This plethora of execrable judicial violations, are grounds for her impeachment.
What is especially ironic, the attack on the surveillance program intended to hit at Bush...was actually also conducted (with impunity) by the President that appointed her...Jimmy Carter...and again by her hero, Bill Clinton.
I didn't know that Scalia made decisions like this one, or does he talk like this but doesn't go there from here?
I understand are "a progressive - not in the silly sense of college kids who think they know it all and therefore support whatever the cause de jour is, but in the sense that I believe that the purpose of government is to protect the little guy (specifically, the poor and the middle class) against foreign enemies, domestic crime, and large corporate interests."
I thought the purpose of government was to give equal protection under the law to everyone (including corporations) and not to establish preferential treatment for the victim de jour.
Carter is the gift that keeps on giving.
If he'd just stuck with Habitats for Humanity he wouldn't be constantly reminding hubby that his vote for him was really a vote for a meddler for life, and a nasty mouthed one at that.
Do you have a loved one who happily refuses to give you absolution, too?
My husband and the kids!
Last time that we divided the vote!
You can fool some of the people all of the time (Democrats), and all the people some of the time (monolithic media consumers), but you can't fool all of the people all of the time (mariabush and my hubby).
Wow, uncanny!
She cites cases having to do with freedom of speech and of the press, as if what Bush was trying to do was to restrain the terrorists from publicly expressing their views or from publishing newspapers or pamphlets advocating their point of view.
