[Marxism] Warrantless electronic surveillance

[Brian Shannon <Brian_Shannon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We probably ignore this fight because our own standards are so
unrelated to what Bush and other presidents do.

Another reason to ignore it is because many others are conducting the
good fight. What, after all, do we have to offer that the ACLU et all
can't?

Speculation is one.

If what you really want to do, in addition to going after Al Qaeda
and similar organizations, is to go after domestic groups, then it
might be impossible to get a warrant, seeing as how that is now illegal.

After all, how did the government create its list that stops some
American citizens from flying on airplanes? What is the asserted
legal basis? Nancy Pelosi may know, but we don't.

If you don't need a warrant, then there is no paper trail. Everything
is executive privilege.
