Obama XIV: President VISTA with SP2

Re: Obama XIV: President VISTA with SP2

Without the 9th Circuit to beat back the "SECURITY FIRST AT ALL COSTS" wing of the GOP what hope do we have to preserve the 4th amendment at all? That's a serious question.
 
Re: Obama XIV: President VISTA with SP2

Always nice to see the 9th Circuit court doing what it does best, make sh1t up. No need to worry about the constitution, we'll just decide how the west should be run! :rolleyes:

And what's with their line about "no reasonable expectation of privacy in your driveway"? Are they serious? How about trying a reasonable expectation to not be trespassed upon, or it's none of the government's business where I drive? Or how about tracking me amounts to a search and the Bill of Rights having something to say about that.

I like the part where a they claimed a delivery guy can walk in the driveway without permission, I think there is implied permission when agreeing to have something delivered to you!
 
Re: Obama XIV: President VISTA with SP2

I'm still holding out hope that the Roberts court will throw an even bigger curveball and knock this down. I should say, I'm holding out that they reverse it but I'm not holding my breath...

I have a feeling the SCOTUS will strike this down, likely unanimously and with Roberts leading the charge.

And it's not like the delivery guy is planting a tracking device on any of your property.
 
Re: Obama XIV: President VISTA with SP2


Surprising as hell the 9th Circuit would rule in favor of the feds on this one. Even the FBI needs a FISA warrant to wiretap potential terrorists or read their emails. I can't see why GPS would not require a warrant. Unless Congress acts first, the Supremes will probably step in. And then it's anyone's guess how they'll rule.
 
Re: Obama XIV: President VISTA with SP2

BTW, I noticed the knucks' avoided this story, but here's the result of right wing xenophobia
So in your world, conservatives who oppose the mosque are responsible for some idiot stabbing a cab driver because he's Muslim? Nice logic. :rolleyes:
 
Re: Obama XIV: President VISTA with SP2


that certainly sucks. but i'm not sure the court isn't right in their interpretation of privacy in your driveway. in the nice planet thread, i was appalled by a story about a man who was arrested for child abuse when he tackled an underage tresspasser in his yard because he 'wasnt defending his house' at that point.

i dont agree with either interpretation, but atleast they are consistent that your yard/driveway is not your home. of course i assume that means we should all get federal funds to maintain those places since we dont own them!

Unless it's guarded apparently. So if you want that pot-growing van in your driveway, pay a homeless guy to stand watch at the end of it.

And if there's one thing that united people of all races, religions, and creeds, it's that they dissociate themselves from Rover.
 
Re: Obama XIV: President VISTA with SP2

Right. The Pentagon site is a non-denominational chapel, while the GZ site would be an Islamic Mosque.

Actually, it's a cultural center, with space available there to pray.

The last time they stepped in, didn't they unanimously uphold stopping in the name of love? (Or was it a motion to find out where their love went?) Seems like that could be the sort of precident that would leave them upholding this as well. In fact, I fully expect them to second that emotion.

I just hope they're not too conservative, I don't want their rulings to be reflections of the way life used to be.
 
Re: Obama XIV: President VISTA with SP2

Thats the RESULT of right wing xenophobia? Now who's lumping everyone into groups? Conservatives are no more responsible for this idiot's actions than Islam is for 9/11...or is that what you wanted me to say?

Hey, does anybody want to get out the "anti-Jewish" vs. "anti-Islam" rates... yeah, it turns out based on 2008 population figures (wiki) and hate crime stats (FBI) there's 4.7 times as many hate crimes per capita against Jews as there are against Muslims.

Clearly, that's the result of the pro-Palestinian / anti-Israeli left in this country. :rolleyes:

well, but when they do it, it doesn't make the news... when some freaky art student goes all sideways, its them teabaggers... when a Carnahan staffer blows up a Carnahan office, its them teabaggers... when a man of Islamic-world extraction parks a fuel bomb in Times Square, its them teabaggers.

Those teabaggers will do just about anything that they won't do.
