5. It will suck the air out of the room when their eventual candidate tries to get elected. Just imagine the spinning that Hillary or Obama would have to do to avoid looking like they support such nonsense.
Or, in the alternative, look how much endorsing impeachment would do to sink their campaigns, when the public is sick of it after 4-6 months.
keeps the lunatics in their own party diverted and out of the wayThat's exactly what this is. They're given this hopeful toy to play with so they'll stay out of the way and (hopefully, in the mind of the rat leaders) won't cause too much trouble for the hypocritical rat leadership as they go through their hypocritical posturing throughout the day.
I agree and have said so to these people. They are using the same tactics and rhetoric as the Moonbat left. Sometimes when I read their posts I have to check what site I’m on.
People tend to not read the definitions section, but that's where one should always start.
"Electronic surveillance" as it pertains to the law with bold sections to show the reason why the NSA actions, as billed, don't fit the law:
(1) the acquisition by an electronic, mechanical, or other surveillance device of the contents of any wire or radio communication sent by or intended to be received by a particular, known United States person who is in the United States, if the contents are acquired by intentionally targeting that United States person, under circumstances in which a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy and a warrant would be required for law enforcement purposes;
(2) the acquisition by an electronic, mechanical, or other surveillance device of the contents of any wire communication to or from a person in the United States, without the consent of any party thereto, if such acquisition occurs in the United States, but does not include the acquisition of those communications of computer trespassers that would be permissible under section 2511 (2)(i) of title 18;
(3) the intentional acquisition by an electronic, mechanical, or other surveillance device of the contents of any radio communication, under circumstances in which a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy and a warrant would be required for law enforcement purposes, and if both the sender and all intended recipients are located within the United States; or
(4) the installation or use of an electronic, mechanical, or other surveillance device in the United States for monitoring to acquire information, other than from a wire or radio communication, under circumstances in which a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy and a warrant would be required for law enforcement purposes.
...and anything that does not fit that very specific definition is not subject to that law. The NSA non-flap has been billed as "listening in on INTERNATIONAL calls between known or suspected terrorists overseas and either someone else overseas or someone in the U.S....but the communications were trapped outside the U.S.
The law does not apply if the billing is true and even if it DID apply, there's that whole "under circumstances in which a person has a reasonable expectation of privacy" part....good luck to them in proving that a person calling a known terrorist overseas has a REASONABLE expectation of privacy.
Well see, here’s the problem. It’s one thing to say “Bush Lied” to a bunch of Moonbats. It’s another to say it in an official manner, when you know he didn’t.
Voting, Ms. Sweet. Might be something you ought to think about.
That dog won’t hunt.
What a bunch of hate-filled losers!
What happened with Kucunich filing Articles of Impeachment against VP Cheney? Anyone know?
Can I vomit now??? Where were these people when Clinton’s wild thing was on the loose....
Sorry, can’t spare a square...
Hey! I’m only 10 miles south of ‘Madistan’ so make it a ‘surgical strike,’ would ya? ;)
Go ahead and impeach Bush & Cheney...and the rest of the Congress too. Maybe they can impeach themselves.
I know some Community College teachers in Wisconsin.
Many of the students require courses in remedial reading. The Constitution is beyond them.
Our pal John Nichols is the Marxist editor of ahem Wisconsins's leading PROGRESSIVE newspaper as it proclaims right under the title. It's always amusing when these "news" items fail to reveal the political leanings of the people involved in the articles. The Cap-Times is the main reason newspapers are called rags. That's the only reason it's worth is to use as one. Or maybe something else.
Sorry, can’t spare a square...
I get that to ..... very funny
makes me wonder what sort of things are floating around in some of these freepers heads ...
