Privacy no longer a citizen right, according to FBI’s Comey
Canada Free Press ^ | 03/09/17 | Judi McLeod

Those faithless representatives have created a monster that has now turned on us

FBI head honcho James Comey behaves just as one might expect a 2013 President Barack Obama-appointed FBI director to behave.

He conducts himself with a confidence that seems unflappable, displays arrogance and, just like the president who appointed him, sometimes throws taunting in for good measure.

Wasn’t the “right to an abortion” found in the “right to privacy,” which was in turn found in a “penumbra” of the Constitution?

Comey says that the FBI did not tap the Trump campaign. I would like to know why he did not say that back in October when the NYT first reported it.

That is Bull. The whole point of a warrant is to protect the right of privacy. Its in the constitution. We have a right to privacy that can be abridged by a judge for public safety concerns. However, if there was no right to privacy why do we have a right to abortion.

“Privacy no longer a citizen’s right” ?

You know what still is a right? To withdraw consent to be governed by people like Comey and to water the tree of liberty.

Now, just a moment, Comey . . . The right to kill your unborn children, I thought, was a right to “privacy,” involved “penumbras,” “choice,” etc.

What will the female-Nazis say about this, you Hillary-loving creep?

They tapped Trump's computers, so Comey lied. Lying to the people on such a large issue seems to warrant legal removal since he has breached ethical limitations.

If the FBI director cannot be trusted to abide by the constitution, dump him!

Yes. You can see these rights in the Constitution if you invest in a pair of ACME “magic reading glasses” available in the Supreme Court’s online souvenir shop. /sarc

Yes, but I would rather know what Obama had on Chief Justice John Roberts.

I’m surprised one of his own people haven’t taken out this smug, traitorous jerk.

the 1st amendment insures free speech.
the 4th amendment insures against seizures without court order.
the 14th amendment insures the freedom of association.

combined, would be the freedom to speak and be assured of the intended audience without worry of govt eavesdropping

govt eavesdropping is the equivalent of seizing property

The Ninth and Tenth Amendments prove that just because a right is not enumerated does not mean it does not exist. This is supported by the meaning of the Fourth, being secure in our persons and papers.

It is ironic that one of the points of legal theory upon which Roe v Wade was decided was the implied right to privacy. The other point being that an unborn child was not a “person” for purposes of enjoying protection of the Constitution.

A Court that can invent a new right out of thin air can equally render an enumerated right so that it is nullified.

We have reached such a shameful and dangerous state of the judiciary with respect to both the plain text and the plain meaning of the Constitution. And our public officials will expand their power to infinity until a superior power stops them.

I would propose a reset, but the sad truth is that even if we were to go back to some ideal moment in the life of the Constitution, events starting with FDR would be a roadmap for bringing the country exactly to this point again.

Speaking of FDR, there is that Wickard case to talk about too. Wickard v. Filburn :: 317 U.S. 111 (1942) Where a farmer growing his own grain to feed to his own hogs was subject to federal regulation because when he didn’t sell his grain or hog on the interstate market that could affect the price of grain or hogs and thus have a federal nexus.

Go figure.

“Privacy”, at least the modern legal understanding of it, goes back to Griswold v. Connecticut. At the time(1965?) Connecticut forbid the sending of birth control information through the mail. The Supreme Court found that Connecticut mail receivers had a reasonable expectation that the state would not be opening their mail.

As I recall(a bit hazily), GvC was one of the building block for Roe v. Wade.
