Seriously, this tells me the Constitutional checks and balances as we once knew them are utterly broken. What kind of oversight exists when the Executive gathers mass quantities of data without a warrant, it briefs a few select members of the Legislative who have to keep it all secret, and the courts craft a rubber-stamp body that approves all requests? There are NO safeguards here. They are so arrogant that they don't even occasionally toss out a request to pretend there is viable due process.
There is only one peaceful resort left. We have to get everyone we know understanding how bad this has gotten. Get them motivated and voting. And make the politicians learn to fear us once again. As long as we rubber-stamp their re-elections, they will set up rubber-stamp courts like this with impunity.
I don’t know what to say DB, except you’re right.
I feel like we’re at a standstill, like....what next?
The Blue Blood GOP, can’t trust them. Can’t trust the Dems. It’s just stand still and know that we’re are now living under a soft tyranny. It boggles the mind.
I do not think it will last, no I don’t. I think the Tea Party heathens will strike back hard.
How?
I don’t know. But once we were forming protests in DC, we were having loud Town Halls. They put us down and subtly, it worked.
And I don’t mean by force necessarily.
Getting the great unwashed to act en masse is like herding cats.
But given the right circumstances, cats CAN be herded, even if they are running in the same direction for fear alone rather than any herding instinct.
I don’t know how, a national work stoppage, maybe? A call for all to gather across the country en masse, a huge political action that can’t be ignored by the stupid media or the world.
I believe this but know I’m vague. I believe God Blesses America.
