White House Move to Collect 'Fishy' Info May Be Illegal, Critics Say
Foxnews ^

The White House strategy of turning supporters into snitches when they see "fishy" information about the health care debate may run afoul of the law, legal experts say. "The White House is in bit of a conundrum because of this privacy statute that prohibits the White House from collecting data and storing it on people who disagree with it," Judge Andrew Napolitano, a FOX News analyst, said Friday. "There's also a statute that requires the White House to retain all communications that it receives. It can't try to rewrite history by pretending it didn't receive anything," he said. "If the White House deletes anything, it violates one statute. If the White House collects data on the free speech, it violates another statute."

They have to take back the Congress - both the House and Senate - before that is practical.

And remember. Obama is still personally popular. Why, I have no idea.

The only way this can be found illegal is if someone takes the WH to court and wins. That simply isn’t gonna be allowed.

This is august recess, why wait for an election, start a recall. No confidence vote and bang they are out of there.

RECALLS should start in all states this month. GET THOSE GUYS OUT BEFORE THEY CAUSE MORE DAMAGE.

RECALLS take time and they bet you are just to damn lazy. Remember they cannot corrupt the recall as easily as the actual vote.

The same ad with the same wording was posted in 2005:

What we need to be looking out for is when his civilian security force starts hiring NOI and Black Panthers as internment specialists. We’re not far off.
