Im so confused.

I thought the constitution was a living and breathing document? Subject to change by current interpretation?

Is Judge Taylor saying that its a rigid, binding contract on printed paper?

Or is it living and breathing, with current interpretation that Foreign based enemies communicating with Americans now have a right to privacy during time of war? No need to Amend the contract, as it is now breathing and pooping with rights for people in Iran.

Did Abe Lincoln know that it was a Living Breathing document? Or was he under the impression that it was a contract between the people and their government, only changing when amended with a democratic process of votes? Didn't he know that congress was in charge of all war time decisions, subject to debate in the senate while the battle field conditions changed?

Maybe Democrats could impeach Abe Lincoln posthumously for dropping Habius Corpus during time of war. He is a republican, and he also should have known that rebels had a right to trials after they burnd northern cities to the ground.

Wow, am I so confused. Head spinning.

Well, at least we know the score.

When Clintonians are in the white house we get Tax Audits of his adversaries, and FBI files collected to use against his political opponents.

With Bush, we get people in foreign lands chanting death to America having their phones tapped when they make a call inside the land of "Great Satan".

At least we know the score, and who they view as enemies.

Liberals want you to believe that so they can re-interpret it any way they wish at the moment. More prudent and real Americans say the Constitution means what the words say and meant at the time they were written.

The ACLU suit agains NSA is based on a BIG LIE. The lie is that NSA is wiretapping US citizens. It is not doing that! The ACLU says the NSA is running a "domestic intelligence" operation on US citizens without warrants. That is another LIE. The court of jurisdiction over what NSA IS doing is called the FISA Court. That court has said what NSA is doing is both legal and prudent.

The ACLU wants to defeat America and so they went to another different court from FISA so they could pit one against the other.

The ACLU never been staffed by truth-tellers. They are all liberal lawyers working to make a buck at the expense of real American taxpayers.
