Exactly who is this judge and who did the appointment?

[txnativegop]

This ruling is super scary. Your observation is correct.

She was born in Japan and is a Bill Clinton appointee.

"OK, so it violates the Constitution? So what? I'm from San Francisco, and we don't see anything about Gay Rights in that old rag, anyway! It needs some updating!"

[E. Pluribus Unum]

My bet is the FBI is tracking down anti-Obama posters so they can hand the names over to the IRS for further investigation.

Recommended by Boxer and Feinstein and appointed by Bill Clinton.

[Mr. Jeeves]

What, Facebook cooperated and sold their data to the IRS to improve their revenue numbers and now Google won’t play ball? Off with their heads!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

On the recommendations of Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, Illston was nominated by President Bill Clinton

That about says it all.

Now that the IRS is taking heat for harassing, threatening and intimidating Americans, it looks like the commies are going to turn that job over to a different agency. Isn’t this the same crap that got the IRS in hot water in the first place? Geesh. This regime is made up entirely of MORONS! Come on America! Wake up!

This idiot judge just threw away the constitution. Despite her finding that it’s a violation of the constitution she ordered it anyway.

[factoryrat]

Bad decision all around. The feds are issuing an unofficial ultimatum to all companies and corporations: give us all of the information you have available on all Americans, or we WILL destroy you by crushing you under audits and regulations.

How secret can it be if we know it ...

Frankly it bothers me enough that Google keeps a record of where I browse. Now the FBI thinks they have a right to my private communications?

Lets say I went to the local shopping mall. I walk around entering stores and looking at their goods, asking questions, and making informed decisions. Does the FBI think they should be able to know exactly what I did during that time? It’s a private matter, nobody’s business but my own.

It’s the same thing with Google. The FBI should be told to no way, you’re getting nothing!

I'm a very firm believer that under US law people who aren't citizens of the US...even ones with Green Cards or who are married to citizens...should be denied a number of rights that we citizens have.Yes,a two-tiered justice system.If this article is connected in any way with non-citizens I'm not sure I'd have a problem with it.Otherwise I have a big problem with it.

[stanne]

Whoa. You would have a long way to go there.

As of now they’re favored over even veterans around here.

Robert Mueller heading up the Brown Shirts for Obama or is that just the IRS Brown Shirts for Obama....."Last year the FBI sent out more than 16,000 NSLs to companies relating to the private data – mainly financial, internet or phone records – of more than 7,000 Americans."

I’ll bet there are plenty of conservative Bobs and Janes on the list and zero Mohammeds.
