NSA eavesdropping program ruled unconstitutional
    #5972621 - 08/17/06 11:53 AM (17 years, 9 months ago)

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/08/17/domesticspying.lawsuit/index.html
Quote:

(CNN) -- A federal judge on Thursday ruled that the U.S. government's warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional and ordered it ended immediately.

In a 44-page memorandum and order, U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor, -- who is based in Detroit, Michigan --struck down the National Security Agency's program, which she said violates the rights to free speech and privacy.

Taylor's ruling stems from a case filed by the American Civil Liberties Union. According to The Associated Press, Taylor is the first judge to rule the eavesdropping program unconstitutional. (Read the complete ruling -- PDF)

The defendants "are permanently enjoined from directly or indirectly utilizing the Terrorist Surveillance Program (TSP) in any way, including, but not limited to, conducting warrantless wiretaps of telephone and Internet communications, in contravention of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and Title III," she wrote.

She further declared that the program "violates the separation of powers doctrine, the Administrative Procedures Act, the First and Fourth amendments to the United States Constitution, the FISA and Title III."

She went on to say that "The president of the United States ... has undisputedly violated the Fourth in failing to procure judicial orders."

The lawsuit, filed January 17 by civil rights organizations, lawyers, journalists and educators, "challenges the constitutionality of a secret government program to intercept vast quantities of the international telephone and Internet communications of innocent Americans without court approval."

The judge rejected the government's argument that the program is within the president's authority, according to the AP




Just another example of an impeachable offense to add to the evergrowing list.

Something tells me that this is simply a front, to make it appear to people as though they will stop spying. Seems that the NSA does nothing but spying and gathering intelligence, and that they will continue to do so in secrecy, as they pretty much always have.

We have a right, as human beings, to privacy. People fear what others might be doing with their privacy and wish to control that, so they seek to invade privacy. Fuck them. :smirk:

so what does this mean.

they declare it unsconstituional, is not the only logical thing to do, to uphold the constitution, is to shut these operations, and the people who support them, down?

arrests? is it just a token, what good does it do if they do not intervene and force cessation?

Bush is convinced the courts do not matter.  They can rule whatever they want, he has the authority based on 1 or 2 passages in the constitution.  The other 9998 passages are IRELEVANT.

Perhaps a fifth grade style ass-kicking, errr  Civics lesson about the THREE branches of govt is in order

Instead of "My Pet Goat"











OR, how about some presidental grade  :rail:


Ah, much better,

Yo Blair, Whatda think of the name 'Oil&GasPipelineistan' for the new Iranian gov't?  Dick & Condi are backing 'Rumsfeldibad'  I need your support Blair! :cool:

Au contraire. Of course he knows the courts matter, but ultimately the Supreme Court matters the most.

When this issue moves up to the Supreme Court, this ruling will be overturned. The decision will be explained in lengthy legalese as still Constitutional based on some legal yet stretched interpretation. The decision will cite precedent from the phone call records disclosure ruling from 30 years ago. And of course it will describe how the Patriot Act has expanded wiretapping powers so this eavesdropping just becomes the legal exercise of those expanded powers. Etc.

Another 5-4 ruling by the new Supreme Court. This one would have gone 5-4 the other way a couple of years ago. Of course Bush cares about the courts and their make up. The Supreme Court judges are generally there for life too, let's not forget.

ah. were pretty much going to disagree on this one.

Lincoln suspended 'Habeas Corpus' illegally in my mind, and i believe Bush will invoke the exact passages for NSA eavesdropping.

Lincoln was dead before anyone called him on it...

I have to agree to keep the wiretapping because they have found many terrorists with it already. They aren't out to get you and listen to your petty phone calls. They have already caught terrorists planning major attacks on the US with wire tapping. If your not doing anything wrong it shouldn't effect you.

first of all..can you provide an example where illegal wiretapping has prevented a major terrorist act in the US..besides the laughable miami 7 and holland tunnel "plots"..which were obvious fakes?...

second of all..the classic fascist mantra that "those who do nothing wrong have nothing to fear" is only true when its up to the courts to determine if you have done anything wrong...by your neocon logic..your automatically guilty if the executive branch or the military says so...

third of all..nobody objects to wiretapping terrorists..but again the executive branch cannot be allowed to arbitrarily deem someone a "terrorist" without some legal standard of probable cause beyond their own selfish interests and impulses...

fourth of all..any terrorist worth their salt would assume that their communications are being tapped anyway..which leads me to believe that that this and other aspects of the repugnican "anti-terrorist" agenda are directed against the political opponents of the repugnican regime rather than against bona-fide terrorists...

I still haven't seen any proof that those terrorist plots that were uncovered were fakes. Your assertations of this are nothing but laughable assumptions.

i guess its not a "fake" if you want to define a "terrorist plot" as a loose series of rants...it might also behoove you to watch keith olbermann ..

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/5976370/an/0/page/0

and neither have the neocons themselves been able to demonstrate its effectiveness ..

Quote:

Democrats questioned whether the program has been effective, saying the administration has shown no evidence that terrorist plots have been disrupted by its use.




if you have some of that evidence..then im a bit curious...
