The Nation: Our Warrantless Wiretapping Lawsuit
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/edcut/336123
posted by Katrina vanden Heuvel
June 10, 2008
This afternoon, President Bush signed the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, a piece of legislation that will needlessly expand the government's ability to spy on Americans and ensure that the country never learns the full extent of Bush's unlawful wiretapping. There were many good Senators who showed courage in standing up to the White House and for the Constitution, but not enough.
A few hours after Bush's signing, The Nation joined with the ACLU in a lawsuit filed in the US District Court (Southern District) of New York challenging the constitutionality of the Act. The Nation is suing on behalf of itself, our staff and two of our contributing writers--Chris Hedges and Naomi Klein. The defendants are the Attorney General of the United States, Michael Mukasey; John M. "Mike" McConnell, Director of National Intelligence; and Lt. Gen. Keith Alexander, Director of the National Security Agency and Chief of the Security Service. We filed suit along with a coalition of other plaintiffs including Amnesty International USA, Human Rights Watch, Global Fund for Women, PEN American Center, Washington Office on Latin America, Service Employees International Union and several private attorneys.
Why are we joining this lawsuit?

News Not Good for Wash Post
Friday July 11, 10:23 am ET
By Ann Northrop, CFA
More than one-third of The Washington Post's (NYSE: WPO - News) revenue comes from newspapers and broadcasting businesses that are in secular decline. As readers migrate to the Internet and TV viewers seek other forms of entertainment, ad dollars shrink. The poor economy and consequent weak ad spending are exacerbating the deterioration, with no visibility to improvement.
...
WPO's Magazine publishing division is suffering greater than the overall industry, whose circulation has not fallen as sharply as the newspaper industry. The company is attempting to pare its cost structure in line with the shrunken revenue stream, announcing a Voluntary Retirement Incentive Program to some Newsweek employees. In February 2008, 115 employees accepted the offer.
If only they would report the news...

I know that a lot of us are disappointed with the FISA vote but bear with me. The Senate sent the bill to the House with overwhelming approval last fall. The House turned it down with a large majority. Then, Steny and Rockerfeller work out a deal with the Senate and brought it back to the House and it passes with an overwhelming majority, it goes back to the Senate and they pass the new revisions.
Now I don’t know if you all remember but, last fall 6 nukes were transported from Minot, ND to a base in the south. Now they report that it was only 5 nukes.. I think that there is still one missing nuke and it was possibly used as a threat against a major city in our country. That I believe, may be the reason, the bill passed.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but we know something doesn’t smell right in passing this bill.
Your thoughts.
If the right wing slant in the op eds were actually opposite the eds that would be good too.

I thought there was something going on also.
I was thinkng that the reason the Dems let Bush have his way on executive discretion is so they can actually get their domestic legislation passed. They figure it'll help inflate his ego enough to keep him distracted, so they can pass bills which help the rest of us.
Anyway, one of our own Olympians is already a hero

A hospital error led to an overdose of blood thinner for 14 infants. Stocks tumble over the Fannie and Freddie crises. Bush turns against Nixon's one useful environmental law, because he cares more about oil companies making billions than saving the world. I guess he doesn't mind burn victims, either.

possible false-flag setup?
Cointel: Well, I think that, in general, the Dems are screwing us over less than they did during the Clinton years, even if it's not as obvious. For example, back then, they had no problems bringing back domestic nuclear weapons programs we were supposed to have ended. They're also more reluctant, nowadays, to let Big Business run rough-shod over the environment in exchange for not laying off people. And they're not as two-faced about slashing vital social programs as they were in the 90s. I know it's not much of a trade-off, when we're giving up our civil liberties in the process, but it feels like there's the potential for a better rewards than what we were left with in 2000. I wasn't really impressed with a surplus built on a bubble economy with fewer safety nets than when we first elected Bubba.

I counted 15 errors my McCain and his campaign this week. Anybody get 16?
1. McCain unambiguously called Social Security a Disgrace.
2. McCain's top economic policy adviser calls Americans a bunch of "whiners" for being worried about the slumping economy. He feels that the American people are bitter and clinging to their jobs!
3. Iraqi leaders call for a timetable for U.S. withdrawal, McCain gets caught in a bizarre denial and flip flop when he gave a interview a few years ago saying he’d support such a request by the Iraqis, then he said the statement wasn’t accurate, and now he says that position is still negotiable.
4. McCain's economic plan to cut the deficit has no details and is simply not believable as he promised to balance the budget by 2013 and was laughed at by everyone with common sense.
5. McCain's deficit plan includes bringing the troops home represents a major Iraq flip-flop.
6. McCain campaign misled about the “300 economists” who support his economic policy when A LOT of them haven’t even read it, those who have don’t like many parts of it, and one person doesn’t even support McCain for President.
7. McCain makes a joke about killing Iranians.
8. McCain denies, flatly, that he ever said that he is not an expert in economics when actual video says otherwise.
9. McCain distorts his record on veterans benefits in response to a question from Vietnam Veteran, who then proceeds to call McCain out his lie.
10. McCain demonstrates he knows nothing about Afghanistan and Pakistan by saying “I think there is a glimmer of an improving relationship between Karzai and Pakistan”.
11. During a campaign stop in Pittsburg, McCain stated: "When I was first interrogated and really had to give some information because of the pressures, physical pressures on me, I named the starting lineup, defensive line of the Pittsburgh Steelers as my squadron mates." Only it wasn't the Steelers, it was the Greenbay Packers -- according to every previous time McCain has told this story.
12. McCain claims that he voted to condemn the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization when an amendment was on the floor of the United States Senate, whereas "Senator Obama refused to vote." Problem is, McCain also didn't vote on that amendment. Both him and Obama were out campaigning. Besides which, Obama sponsored similar legislation in March 2007, so his "refusal" should be taken with a grain of salt.
13. McCain forgets his position on funding Birth Control over Viagra and simply dismisses the question after a LONG pause.
14. Carly Fiorina, who is being considered for the VP spot, is going across the country telling everyone that McCain is pro-choice and wouldn’t touch Roe v. Wade when he is really pro-life and wants to overturn Roe v. Wade.
15. McCain didn’t bother to vote on the FISA bill just like he didn’t bother to vote on the G.I. Bill, or any other bill in a long time for that matter, even though he takes every weekend off because he’s supposedly in great shape for a old man.
I will conspire with my pillow to rest and refresh.

In spite of being pro-life, Bush seems to think that you can put an economic limit on it.
The U.S. is fine with missiles in Japan, just not N. Korea.
The reality of the whole thing is that John McCain doesn't remember everything about his captive experience. That is not such an unusual thing. If you were talking to folks, would you really remember everything about a horrific experience like that? Unfortunately yes I would. I might mis-remember some uneventiful experiences but the major things that I would have survived would be permenantly emblazened in my brain.
McCain is too old to be the chairman of the homeowners association let alone the president of the USA. I hope that the marginally illiterate wake up to what the monied, political guys are doing to destroy the American middile economy.

Black community denied water for decades, jury says
Story Highlights
Residents were denied public water service for decades out of racial discrimination
Plaintiffs awarded $15,000 to $300,000, depending how long they lived in Coal Run
Residents either paid for wells, hauled water for cisterns or collected rain water
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Residents of a mostly black neighborhood in rural Ohio were awarded nearly $11 million Thursday by a federal jury that found local authorities denied them public water service for decades out of racial discrimination.
President Kennedy urged civil rights in 1963. An Ohio community was discriminated against from 1956 to 2003.
Each of the 67 plaintiffs was awarded $15,000 to $300,000, depending on how long they had lived in the Coal Run neighborhood, about 5 miles east of Zanesville in Muskingum County in east-central Ohio.
The money covers both monetary losses and the residents' pain and suffering between 1956, when water lines were first laid in the area, and 2003, when Coal Run got public water.
The lawsuit was filed in 2003 after the Ohio Civil Rights Commission concluded the residents were victims of discrimination. The city, county and East Muskingum Water Authority all denied it and noted that many residents in the lightly populated county don't have public water.

" WORSE THAN McCAIN " ?!,
It seems almost impossible but Mike Whitney makes a point with his blistering essay just published on the information clearinghouse web-site.
What can be worse than McCain one would ask, for he, McCain, cannot be matched when it comes to his promises of more, much more, dead and destruction, elite & corporate corruption and the further collapse of the U.S. middle class and with that U.S. sociëty.
It can be worse! It can be worse because one of the worst experiënces in life is when one is betrayed, betrayed by someone you trusted, betrayed by someone who promised to change the political status-quo, who promised to end the war in Iraq, who promised to vote against retro-active immunity for crimes committed by a criminal government and its criminal henchmen.

Along with Tony Snow, cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Michael DeBakey also died. The difference between the two is stark.

Peak Oil. Why would the Democrats roll over on FISA and Telecom immunity? Cuz the fan is brown my friends. The overlooked headline in yesterday's news:
"Britain urging return to wartime food frugality"
Read about it at:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25642713/
One of the first global impacts of Peak Oil will be food shortages. I've been watching for this first little chink in the West's perceived armour. Starvation isn't just for brown people anymore. Hungry people aren't pleasant. Starving people are deadly. The government will need as many weapons as they can get to keep the hungry, unemployed US population under control. Torture, FISA, the shredding of the US Constitution and civil liberties. They only seems outrageous while we can still drive our SUVs. As the impacts of Peak Oil become more and more deadly these will become the good old days. The bitch of it is that this crisis can and will wipe out at least two thirds of the world population with or without the government's ability to spy on us. The opportunity for a soft landing is past.
Great song, too.

We'll all be worm food some day. I have heard that worms prefer rightwing, conserevative republiscums though because they are already rotten on the inside.
Ratface @ 106:
Well said!
Yeah, I just saw Tony Snow is dead on the news. I hope C&L doesn’t have a love fest for this guy like they did Tim Russert. I don’t wish cancer and death on any person, and I do feel bad for Tony Snows family, but I’m not going to pretend like he was a real jounalist or a person of integrity. I’m sorry, but that’s the truth. Even after his cancer came back, he continued to be a liar and a propaganda artist for the government. You’d think he’d want to at least try and tell the truth before he died.
All the Dumbya loving Dem's that voted to strip peoples privacy rights should be voted out next time. I know I will.
"Tony Snow died & that’s a shame. He left a family &
friends & although I always disagreed with his editorials
he was entitled to his opinion. I’m sure my fellow Democrats
who are happy the man is dead have people out there that
will jump for joy when they die. Shame on you. RIP Tony Snow.
We never agreed but politics aside may God take care of you."
See, this is kind of the problem I have. When I saw Tony Snow lie, I relized it was contributing to the death and destruction of other human beings. How is that just politics. Is that the only problem you had with Snow, this retarded phoney political side show of Right VS Left. If that's all you guys care about then we are really in trouble as human beings. Tony Snow (and Tim Russert) were both propaganda artist to the highest order. They assisted in leading more human beings into a meat grinder. I'm sure their families knew them differently, but it still doesn't excuse what they did.
And like I said before, Tony knew he was dying and still continued to lie. What kind of sick bastard is that. I'm sorry for going on a rant, but this is beyond politics here people. You guys need to wake up.

Chris, I just needed to respond to this. We didn't have a lovefest for Tim Russert. We simply asked that in a SINGLE thread people refrain from being nasty and vitriolic. The man had not even been buried yet and everyone seemed to be upset that they weren't able to damn him to hell. Really, that's not a lovefest. That's common courtesy and human decency.
Did it occur to you that Russert's extended family do read this blog and were grieving? (Because they do, and we heard from them) Did it occur to you that right wing outlets were poring over the comments hoping to find the proof they needed that liberals were ugly, hateful little people happy to dance on the grave of a dead man? Does your need to be vitriolic and ugly supersede decency and respect?

You're off base. Go through the archive and you'll find the site's only comments when Russert died:
As with all announcements of this sort, we ask that your comments stay respectful.
Update: John Amato. Wow, what shocking news. My heart goes out to his friends and family. When moments like these arrive, it’s a reminder to us all just how precious and fleeting our lives really are..
That doesn't read like a "love fest" to me.
And I saw a lot of the comments that were deleted, and they were just plain sick. It's one thing to figuratively hold a public figure's feet to the fire when he's alive, with hopes that the person will change their ways, but what good does it do once the person is dead?
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.

So sad that some people would be so wrapped around the axle over things they can't control as to hurl invectives at a dead man. Some of these sick puppies would actually be dancing in the streets if Bush or Cheney keel over or get taken out.
Ratface @ 106:
I feel sorry for his family. Losing a loved one, especially so young, is terrible. But, Tony Snow hated us (i.e., the left, Democrats, libruls, etc) and for that I cannot feel sorry for him. His record is long and established for his contempt for anyone left of center. His only purpose over the last 10 years of his life was to carry the reich-wing message and to smear the Left. I hope he does make it to Heaven, but that's the only nice thing I could say about this propagandist.

So sad....
They died too too late to prevent the suffering and deaths of millions that they facilitated.

No comment.
Politics aside.
My Condolences to Tony Snow's family.
Three children under the age of 15 lost their father.
May Tony rest in peace.
O'reilly? Limbaugh? Talk about having a parting if they happen to crock!
I am not going to enjoy anyone dying of cancer, especially someone who chose not to be a jerk, in spite of being a Republican shill. I know a guy who acts "moderate", but it still an apologist, is not much to look forward to, but he was the only polite guy in that cult, and he at least deserves polite words for his eulogy.
I haven't been very happy with Bill Clinton in recent months, but he just gave a great speech at the National Governors Assocation on C-span. Filled with substance rather than politics and a few specific ideas to solving some of our nations problems. It's worth a listen when it is put up for replay on the C-span website.
I should add that Bill Clinton is in the afternoon session.
Great song!
If the White house wants to sent out PR men and women to lie to us, there is obvious no reason to have a gov't at all, they delegate private BS artist to cover for them as a way of plausable denyability. Please make Ron Paul our president somebody, some state please.

It's never nice when someone dies. People bristle against what he did while he was alive, which was not good. Don't get all "shame on you". How many died because of him? I'm not jumping for joy that he passed away, but don't ask me to respect him. That's sanctimony.

Hell, this "sick puppy" will have a block party. You're invited.
PS Maybe you've never seen "The Wizard of Oz"; ding dong, the witch is dead.

When Chemical Ali (a/k/a Comical Ali) is executed for participation in Saddam's regime, will you be saying the same things about him?
No? If you're going to defend one regime's propagandist, why not the other?
Snow _was_ Comical Al.
Dr. Hussein Matt @ 121:
So the deranged words/actions of nutbars on the left are justified by those coming from the right? Great logic there.
