The Giant Has Awakened!
Andrew Napolitano: American public is pushing back against its abusive government
WND
Which is more dangerous to personal liberty in a free society: a renegade who tells an inconvenient truth about government lawbreaking, or government officials who lie about what the renegade revealed? That’s the core issue in the great public debate this summer, as Americans come to the realization that their government has concocted a system of laws violative of the natural law, profoundly repugnant to the Constitution and shrouded in secrecy.
The liberty of which I write is the right to privacy: the right to be left alone. The framers jealously and zealously guarded this right by imposing upon government agents intentionally onerous burdens before letting them invade it. They did so in the Fourth Amendment, using language that permits the government to invade that right only in the narrowest of circumstances.
The linchpin of those circumstances is “probable cause” of evidence of crime in “the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” If the government cannot tell a judge specifically what evidence of crime it is looking for and precisely from whom, a judge may not issue a search warrant, and privacy – the natural human yearning that comes from within all of us – will remain where it naturally resides, outside the government’s reach.
Congress is the chief culprit here, because it has enacted laws that have lowered the constitutional bar the feds must meet for judges to issue search warrants. And it has commanded that this be done in secret.
And I mean secret.
The judges of the FISA court – the court empowered by Congress to issue search warrants on far less than probable cause, and without describing the places to be searched or the persons or things to be seized – are not permitted to retain any records of their work. They cannot use their own writing materials or carry BlackBerries or iPhones in their own courtrooms, chambers or conference rooms. They cannot retain copies of any documents they’ve signed. Only National Security Agency staffers can keep these records.
Indeed, when Edward Snowden revealed a copy of an order signed by FISA court Judge Roger Vinson – directing Verizon to turn over phone records of all of its 113,000,000 U.S. customers in direct and profound violation of the individualized probable cause commanded by the Constitution – Vinson himself did not have a copy of that order. Truly, this is the only court in the country in which the judges keep no records of their rulings.

I normally don’t comment on ADS.
This page is splashed with a bunch of “Victoria Secret” ads.
The girl is pretty and all but don’t you think a store that specializes in the way it does should be careful to hire a model that is more obviously of legal consent?
I’m just saying she looks 14 to me. Inappropriate IMHO
Usually ADS appear on your own computer related to the searches you have made yourself… sooo I would say Victoria’s Secret is no longer a secret where you are concerned!
Yup, the dude’s been peekin’ at ladie’s “frillies”. Cookies don’t lie!
cookies?
You put the feral negro in. You get the feral negro out.
This is how much hatred and contempt the left has against America in that they would put a negro who is not qualified or legal to be president.
The feral negro has put in more that 200 lesbians and gays in positions of power in government. The negro is effectively shutting down Christianity in this nation.
Remove the feral negro BO and America can breathe again.
HE is no negro.
Skin is yellow.
Werent blacks cannibals in Africa before they were sold as slaves. I do recall the Zulu tribe would feast on those they captured until they realized they could trade them for iron and steel goods to the white devils. The white devils who taught them skills, showed them a better way to live, showed them the village or tribe shamans voodoo wasnt real and eventually freed them.
He’s a Mullato –White Mom/black dad. Wonder why the “girls” didn’t get any white genes?
Reference to skin color marks you as less than human. I don’t condone O-bomb-ya’s actions on the basis of his works. When you bring skin into the debate you are exposed as one who is influenced by appearance more so than real actions, real options or real effective changes. There is no cause to suggest something “feral” either. Puppet of the govermob sure, Constitutional violator, even treasonist possibly. That we leave to the impeachment proceeding and not vacuous slurs. Step-up son and hold yourself to the higher standard that will give us results.
Skin color??? That’s the basis of the affirmative action you white-hating liberals love so much.
yeah funny how color has nothing to do with it. all the coloreds are criminals in the admin, how convenient! you’re an idiot. if you’re not homosexual and have a daughter, that has to be a concern, if it isn’t then your daughter has no father. if you think race has nothing to do with anything, you are as naive as you are liberal, which goes hand in hand. this POS (turds are negro colored) is a disgrace to black people which in turn allows them to disgrace themselves. did you catch the trayvon (typical white mans name) witness? yeah, color….. creepy ass cracker. there’s a fine line between tolerant and just plain ignant! guess which one WE ALL think you are?
Hang all drunkdrivers — how racist of you to throw facts into the conversation. you probably like paula dean!!
beyond stupidity this comment is! news flash…obama has been and never will be the issue. hes a puppet. whoever is running the spy game and the money are whos making the rules. obama has been blackmailed and is worried about dying so hes being told now whats policy. the color of skin only matters to a racist. the man himself is just a warm body under someone elses control
And your racism is OK???? give me a break… just because you call Obama a “negro” does not negate the fact that You are racist. You are not only racist you are prejudice as well. Remove people like you and America can be what she was meant to be.. a potpourri of all races without prejudice.
Anonymous, if someone from here removed you, that would be a GREAT start. You make me sick.
@Theron & Anonymous:
Thank you for your insightful and inspiring comments. Now, how about you run along and drop some wisdom somewhere where they would appreciate that sort of thing. Like Fox news or MSNBC for instance
Marbury v Madison, ANYTHING repugnant to the constitution is NULL AND VOID!
If we apply fruit of the poisoned tree doctrine, ANYTHING that is obtained through ILLEGAL searches cannot be brought into court or used as evidence in a trial!
the so called law NDAA/Patriot act are REPUGNANT to the constitution and are VOID!
No evidence can be utilized in any trial!
IT IS ALL LIES!
FISA courts are REPUGNANT!
Secret courts are REPUGNANT!
Secret laws are REPUGNANT!
OUR GOVERNMENT IS FASTLY BECOMING REPUGNANT TO THE CONSTITUTION!
NULL AND VOID!

Right after 9/11 we were told the country was at war with terrorist and that could be anyone the White House designated as a terrorist. Nothing has changed since 2001. Doesn’t matter who occupies the White House, at this point the nation is in perpetual war with an unseen but dangerous foe who can strike at any minute, and we have to lose our Constitutional rights as citizens because we have to fight this foe. No one in the country whether right, left or middle have every made a stink until this latest leak of info. Folks, the government has known your every move for a number of years now, get over it! This is our reality now! And that ain’t no conspiracy theory!
Post my comment please.
is creepy ass cracker OK in reference to skin color. That’s not racist is it?
