Bush Wants to Violate my Fourth Ammendment Rights? And Yours too!
Filed Under random thoughts · Tagged:
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
The authors of the Constitution were very wise to include this. I have no words to describe the lack of respect I have for Bush for such a massive attempt to violate my Constitutional rights. Yours too, if you’re a US citizen that is. I search Google every day. President Bush wants Google to hand over records of all requests for a randomly specified week. I can’t remember a day when I haven’t done a Google search, let alone a whole week. In effect, Bush wants to violate my rights.
All Nixon did was have some of his goons break into a hotel room. Bush wants to break into millions of people’s private records. I feel like vomiting.

That’s just a random sampling of people who’ve blogged about this topic this morning. Technorati lists thousands of posts on the subject already! I might add more later.

Come on now, you know as well as I do, the Bush administration is trying to protect us. No other major authority leader is stepping up to the plate to fight terrorists. At least we have Bush to take fire from liberals who complain about EVERYTHING. I have no problem with it.
On the right side,
Satch
I’m certainly no Liberal, and violating the Constitution is not a very Conservative thing to do.
I contacted Yahoo yesterday and told them im deleting them out of my computer. I want my personal information keep out of Bush’s hands. IM about ready to contact AOL and tell them the same thing. I pay a lot of money for my service and NO one has the right to give any of my personal information to anyone.
when it comes to child porn, id say its worth it
While I’d be the first to say that the people who do child porn should be beheaded, I don’t this this is really about that. If it were, the Bush administration could just subpeona Google to provide it with data on only the people who searched for child porn.
