"Mayor James Baker called the criticism 'asinine and intellectually bankrupt.'"

Guess what, Jimmy. I've got a list of politicians likely to be looking for real jobs next election.

I don't care what anyone but a court of law thinks," he said. "Until a court says otherwise, if I say it's constitutional, it's constitutional.

This has been the attitude of law enforcement from the beginning of time. While police agencies in America are filling up jails for violations which are clearly unconstitutional, and violate civil rights with dangerous policies like this one, they just pass it on to the courts. Meanwhile, the citizen who has just been raped by the system must spend thousands of dollars to go against the strong arm of the law.

If we can accomplish anything here at the Free Republic, we must collectively do what ever it takes to see that law makers, judges, district attorneys and police officers held accountable if they violating the constitution. Just passing an unconstitutional policy onto the courts is no longer acceptable.

The day we see to it that these criminals are serving time behind their own bars and crying "I was only doing my job" is when we can call it a day.

i wonder, though, if this is part of the xxxlinton hangover. everyone sees Impeached42 getting away w/ adds and ends all the way back to 92.... certainly some of his moral residue must have rubbed off on those in power

[Lunatic Fringe]

OUTRAGEOUS!

It's times like this that I am grateful for the ACLU.

1984, 20 yrs too soon..

I thought you should have said twenty years too late, not too soon.
Then I read this...

AG Ashcroft is a 1964 Yale graduate - with Honors, no less.

 ...and realized you are correct. It started 20 years ago.

I just don't know what to think. Too many coincidences. How was he able to predict like that?

That was an incredible movie, I've not read the book yet.
Animal farm I did read..

Intolerable.

[Temple Owl]

I think they already have this information. It is called police records and mug shots.

Do perverts and rapists count? Our former National Role Model (NRM) had better keep his bent pecker out of The First State.

It's a shame, but I have to agree with the ACLU on this one — if this doesn't scream "police state," I don't know what does.

This is a natural result from rejecting our cultural roots in favor of moral relativism. The government gladly steps in to fill the void created by those who won't adhere to the precepts taught from concrete truths, such as "right and wrong."

Defense attorneys and the American Civil Liberties Union oppose the database, which lists names, addresses and photographs of the potential suspects many of whom have clean slates.

Of course the ACLU opposes this. But they're hardly the good guys in this scenario. They are constantly suing to have any vestige of God removed from the public domain. They encourage Americans to reject the principles on which this country was founded. How ironic, since they are some of the very people who have been instrumental in causing the moral decline in America that has caused the FedGov to increase.

That may have a lot to do with it, but what's the solution? I'm not trying to be argumentative, but how can morals be forced upon a society? The law can be enforced at gunpoint, but no one can force an individual to believe in a moral code (as opposed to abiding by it for fear of punishment). In other words, how can moral decline be addressed?

And by the way, I agree with your assessment of the ACLU. They're wrong at least as often as they're right, and have a very skewed take on the Bill of Rights. Also, this program may not be unconstitutional in a strict sense, but it flies in the face of a free society's belief in the presumption of innocence, which is why I find it so offensive.

One can't force morals on society. At this point those of us who still hold to traditional values are in for the fight of our lives because it has become perfectly acceptable to ridicule and sneer at Christianity. The government, hollywood, pop culture, and moral liberals have been demonizing tradional values for over 30 years now, and it has had a huge effect on the way this country has devolved. In my opinion, we are imploding. The culture is collapsing. What can we do? We mount a counter-revolution. Here is a good article you might enjoy: How to win the Culture war>

Police in Delaware are trying to get a head-start on cracking crimes before they happen by setting up a database that contains a list of people who officers believe are likely to break the law.

Straight out of "Minority Report".

Alex Jones has been predicting this stuff for months, if not longer. More people need to wake up and listen.
