Glenn Greenwald, Too!!

Verum and I and Glenn Greenwald.

...anyone who doesn’t quietly, meekly and immediately submit to Government orders and invasions — or anyone who stands up to government power and challenges it — is inherently suspect. Just as the establishment-worshiping, political-power-defending Ruth Marcus taught us today in The Washington Post, objecting to what the Government is doing here is just immature and ungrateful; mature, psychologically healthy people shut up and submit. --Greenwald

Nope, it's for everybody including those US Citizens illegally wiretapped by the previous administration. Right?

At least the "illegal wiretapping" was effective. Anybody can still get explosives past the TSA after submitting to their humiliation.

I'd love to hear a story about one law abiding person losing their 4th A. rights due to wiretapping, but I know there are none.

You don't have to be law-abiding to have Constitutional rights. Thus, your request is moot.

I see you can't produce any evidence of American citizens losing their 4th A. rights under the wiretapping program.

Anybody losing their 4th A. rights when they check in for their flights these days?

TerryN said...

Oh, and don't forget that the new TSA program does not reveal body cavities, totally ignores freight and focuses on the weapon instead of the terrorist. All at the expense of the flying American public's dignity.

i.e. the TSA's new program is moot.

Not that I know of. I haven't given an opinion one way or another. I've been through the scanner, and I don't have a problem with it.

Illegal wiretapping

"At least the "illegal wiretapping" was effective."

Not proven.
