Would Somebody Please Remind the Administration That Dick Cheney Is Not in Charge?

For it sure seems like it at times.
The Obama administration is seeking to make it easier for the FBI to compel companies to turn over records of an individual's Internet activity without a court order if agents deem the information relevant to a terrorism or intelligence investigation.
If I wanted a president that treated privacy concerns as though they were soap bubbles and kowtowed to every request by the Stasi FBI for more and more surveillance powers, I'd have voted for Grampaw Grumpy and Bible Spice.

If you think that the FBI might be overusing "national security letters", the "double-top secret we doan need no steenkin' search warrant" letters, maybe it's because they have issued hundreds of thousands of them.

This fuckery needs to stop.

    There were a lot of things I didn't like about the Bush administration that I was hoping to see get fixed with an all Democrat Federal government in charge. This would be one of them. The others being Gitmo, both wars, and the bug-fuck crazy spending associated with the later two.

    What a let down. Even the Democrats are pulling the same crap I hate about the Republicans.

    Oh well, makes me feel less nutty when I pull the lever for a Libertarian I guess.
