The ACLU Changeling’s Again
My favorite oh my God what are they doing ACLU changeling’s are at it again.
This time they have taken on the NSA, this should provide plenty of interesting chewing of the cud facts… for everyone to have a serious case of Indigestion, for a long while.
if you can stomach it….
Saying that the Bush administration’s illegal spying on Americans must end, the American Civil Liberties Union today filed a first-of-its-kind lawsuit against the National Security Agency seeking to stop a secret electronic surveillance program that has been in place since shortly after September 11, 2001.
In addition to the ACLU, the plaintiffs in this case are: Authors and journalists James Bamford, Christopher Hitchens and Tara McKelvey , Afghanistan scholar Barnett Rubin of New York University’s Center on International Cooperation and democracy scholar Larry Diamond, a fellow at the Hoover Institution. Nonprofit advocacy groups NACDL, Greenpeace, and Council on American
Islamic Relations, who joined the lawsuit on behalf of their staff and membership.
In the legal complaint filed, the ACLU said the spying program violates Americans’ rights to free speech and privacy under the First and Fourth Amendments of the Constitution.
“The prohibition against government eavesdropping on American citizens is well-established and crystal clear,†said ACLU Associate Legal Director Ann Beeson, who is lead counsel in ACLU v. NSA. “President Bush’s claim that he is not bound by the law is simply astounding. Our democratic system depends on the rule of law, and not even the president can issue illegal orders that violate Constitutional principles.â€
Here’s a touch of Irony for yall…
“Because of the nature of their calls and e-mails, they believe their communications are being intercepted by the NSA under the spying program.â€
Jay say’s“So, while our military fights the good fight, the ACLU are suing over an inconvenience in its ability to talk to the very people who want to kill us all. Like I said before, the ACLU’s slogan of “Keep America Safe and Free†is an absolute lie. They care more about the imaginary rights of our enemies than any kind of safety for America. They have done absolutely nothing for America’s safety, and everything in their power to fight the efforts to protect America!”
