The scurreying for cover sounds like a stampede.

Blame it on Bush is a dwindling asset.

So much to know; so little time.

Put every Democrat in Congress to the lie detector. Off the chart on every read.

“the unprecedented anti-terrorism program”

Really? No precedent in Hoover’s FBI? Or Kennedy and Nixon’s justice departments? Or Wilson and FDR’s homefront war efforts?

The Obamacoms are still pissed that we were spying on their Islamofascist terrorist buddies.

Obama is tanking in the polls, the stimulus is failing and they just caught him on camera leering at a 17 year old girl. Time for AP to do a little Bush bashing.

Exactly! The AP shouldn't be so obvious...

Tell the Government Czar every detail regarding your intimate medical concerns. Tell him what you eat and what you do. Urinate at his command. Account for every penny that comes in and every penny you spend. Obama wants to know. Give your credit card to a waiter. Undermine national security to spite Bush. Click every sucker link on the net.

It’s all arbitrary BS. Nothing matters. People running in random directions, wailing, gnashing, catching fire as everyone rides along with the planet from Hell as it spirals to its doom.

My Sister In Law worked in a large Gubmint Facility in Southern California. She accidentally walked into a room that had hundreds of digital recording machines made by Honeywell and Racal of Great Britain.

When she asked another Gubmint Employee about the machines, she was told that they recorded all overseas phone conversations. This was during the late Bush 41 or early Clinton Administrations.

I only know what she told me, but she did know what the machines looked like and she described them to my Wife who worked for Racal at the time.

This whole Bush taking away your privacy thing is bunk meant to rile up the Useful Idiots. And guess what, it worked like a charm.

Can't wait for my Medical History to be Digitized so the ObamaCare Acorn Workers can make life and death decisions for me.

Since FDR locked up the Japs, I guess the Libs wouldn't have minded if Bush locked up the Muzzies, right?

Oh that's right, it only mattered that Michelle Malkin agreed with FDR and Ann Coulter said we should invade the Muslim Countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.

Some show trials of Bush Administration intelligence officials should work nicely....for a while. Then people will realize the only change is their standard of living disappearing.

I KNEW there was a reason I have felt violated for the past several years. And here I thought it was alien invaders who kidnapped me, and subjected me to a round of anal probes, the way they always do.
Now I know it was Bush’s secret surveillance....this kind of jive innuendo reportage is yet another classic expression of the Left accusing Bush of fulfilling the kind of programmatic prying that is their own heart’s desire. See, first they have to accuse Bush of doing it, so they can do it with impunity themselves, as a “corrective”, and out of motivations of nothing more than “self-defense”.

yep, the ACORN census ‘might want to know’ about firearms but that’s all it is for now, strictly a wish and they can just a wish all they want.

Asspress really has its fangs in this story. Ninny Nancy must have told them to write this garbage.

The portion of Yoo's memo that has them all nutted up is summarized in the Washington Post story (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2289870/posts) as follows:
In that memo, Yoo concluded that the FISA law could not "restrict the president's ability to engage in warrantless searches that protect the national security" and that "unless Congress made a clear statement in FISA that it sought to restrict presidential authority to conduct warrantless searches in the national security area -- which it has not-- then the statute must be construed to avoid such a reading," according to the report.
OK, let's see what the FISA Court of Appeals had to say on the subject of whether FISA could restrict the president's ability to engage in warrantless searches to protect national security:
The Truong court, as did all the other courts to have decided the issue, held that the President did have inherent authority to conduct warrantless searches to obtain foreign intelligence information. ... We take for granted that the President does have that authority and, assuming that is so, FISA could not encroach on the President's constitutional power.
The president does have inherent constitutional authority under his Article II powers to conduct warrantless searches on matters of national security and this is at its zenith with regard to a foreign enemy that has already launched a mass casualty attack on civilians on US soil. FISA is a mere statute, and cannot constitutionally restrict the President's Constitutional authority. This is true no matter who is president.
