The resolution states that "to the greatest extent legally possible, no City of Ithaca employee or department, or employee of any City agency, shall be required to cooperate with investigations, interrogations, surveillance, or arrest procedures, public or clandestine, that are judged to be in violation of individuals' civil rights or civil liberties as specified in the Bill of Rights and the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution." **** The resolution goes on to state that law officials on the federal, state and local levels must "report publicly each month to the City of Ithaca Common Council and the Tompkins County Human Rights Commission on the extent and manner in which they have acted under the USA PATRIOT Act and new Executive Orders."

Reasonable people can disagree over the Patriot Act, but this, like those "no war with Iraq" resolutions that some left wing cities are passing are, in my opinion, completely inappropriate wastes of taxpayer time and money.

Furthermore, under what authority are these people demanding that federal and state law enforcement officials report to them? And further demanding that their own employees refuse to cooperate with the law?

Finally, where were these idiots when Clinton was violating civil liberties all over the place?

Ithaca is the City of Evil.

I agree, but... those liberal cities keep electing liberal idiots to spend their tax dollars in that manner. The solution to this is for conservatives to move out of cities and let the liberals, welfare queens/kings, and gangs remain, fending for themselves. With enough conservatives voting outside of the city the city won't be able to take your money from you through the power of the state.

This is happening all across the country in the liberal cities. Stupid commie rats!
