Because they all seem to think that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the NSA collecting phone records, emails and whatnot.
Sen. Harry Reid (D- No Balls): "I think everyone should just calm down and understand that this isn't anything that is brand new, it's been going on for some seven years.."
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R- Closet): "I don't mind Verizon turning over records to the government... I don’t think you're talking to the terrorists. I know you're not. I know I'm not, so we don't have anything to worry about."
Ah, yes, the old "if you have nothing to hide, if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear" argument. It is the classic pro-police state lie.
Sen. Feinstein (D- Disarmed Serfs) claims that the NSA's spying on everyone has enabled them to disrupt some terrorist plots. With all due respect, Senator, show us the proof of that statement.
Here's a fucking clue for you good Senators: Go read the motherfucking Constitution, especially the Fourth Amendment. With all due respect to you 100 august legislators, the Framers of the Constitution were a hell of a lot smarter than you. And you guys prove that every time you open your mouths. For right now, you're acting more like those crack legal scholars, Bush and Gonzales.
You clowns all took an oath to defend the Constitution. I suggest that you consider doing that.
Oh, and in a note of irony, tomorrow is the 64th anniversary of the first publication of Nineteen Eighty-Four
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Thanks; I was about to type "Paging George Orwell. George Orwell, to the red courtesy phone, please."
ReplyDeleteThis chipping away of privacy has been going on for a long time. I remember seeing warnings in I. F. Stone's newsletter and various places, and back then it was about wiretapping. Quaint, no?
Good timing on that anniversary. Course, for what it is worth, watching a bunch of old white guys suddenly dropping cocks and grabbing socks cause some black guy (POTUS) is using the tools some other old white guys wanted to use on everyone else, would be amusing if it wasn't so using the Constitution as Charmin substitute.
