Bush Wiretaps

Benman · #1 12-16-2005, 01:07 PM

Bush supporters will no doubt try to justify the use of non-judicially authorized wiretaps on American citizens that the president authorized in 2002. If you find yourself trying to rationalize this, ask yourself, when is enough enough? I'm not a conservative, but I have respect for conservatives who are that way ideologically, rather than reflexively partisan. At some point you have to jump ship.

Don't worry. Right now the Democrats are killing the Patriot Act by fillibuster. Soon we will be back to normal, where the terrorists are free to do whatever they want in the USA. Good times.

Its not a matter of if the government will abuse its patriot act authority, its a matter of when.

If you go to a protest, you are on a list already.

Thanks for sticking up for authoratrianism, Beer and Pizza. I was a little concerned that you'd try to jump ship. You guys put him in power and defended him to the death-- now that Bush is going to go down in flames, I want to make sure you guys all go down with him.

I only stand up for common sense procedures. Sorry if my not wanting to turn over our society to terrorists and criminals seems unreasonable. Let anarchy reign.

Serious question. Why was it nessecary to skip the court order for wire taps, which are aquireable and legal? Is it unreasonable?

The court has NEVER turned down a request for wiretaps. Damn liberal activist judges.

Yes, because the courts are totally controlled by communists.

Whoa don't throw terms around until you have discussed the 19th century definition of the term. Did I miss your "What is a Communist" thread?
