WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has ruled the National Security Agency may temporarily resume its bulk collection of Americans' domestic phone call records, the New York Times reported on Tuesday.

The program lapsed on June 1, when Section 215 of the Patriot Act expired. Congress revived that provision the following day with a bill called the Freedom Act, which said the provision could only be used for bulk collection for six months.

Anyone still voting GOP IS the problem, and should be treated as the traitorous, ignorant wretches they are.

A Patriot's Prayer:

"Lord, make my hand fast and accurate. Let my aim be true and my hand faster than those who would seek to destroy me. Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun." And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home Let me die in a pile of empty brass." Amen

NSA just got the judges all alone for a bit and showed them the records of the web sites they’ve been visiting.

Blackmail is just the way things get done in DC these days.

There is not one electronic bit that is transferred between one location and another on this earth that is not COMPLETELY captured by the NSA. It never stopped and it never will. Why would anyone think any differently with the way our RINOS have been behaving?

We should rename 4th of July to something like, “Screwing Around with Firecrackers Day”.

More honest.

Read this again. If I have it correct, it's appalling. THE DAY AFTER they voted to end bulk collection, they voted to extend it for six months!

The world will be a better place when all of the politicians, bankers, and other elitists have to head for the hills!

Johnny: [after hearing the sirens] It’s the phone cops. They know what I did here today.
Venus: What are you talking about?
Johnny: They’re coming to get me, man!
Venus: That’s paranoia, man!
Johnny: Wake up, sucker, this is the phone company we’re talking about! They see everything, they know everything, they got their own covert police force! I’m probably wired for sound right now! I gotta get out of here!
Venus: Johnny!
Johnny: Don’t use my name!!

The government allows us to celebrate our freedom, yes, at least as long as the fireworks are legal and proper safety precautions are taken and no EPA restrictions are disobeyed and there aren't any Confederate flags or anything racist or offensive to anyone in the world except white males. I figure that works out to half a sparkler and a party popper. Wear your eye protection.

And forget about the fed, white, and blue displays. We should go for the colors of the rainbow!

Doesn't it feel a little weird? Up until a few weeks ago, I had some hope. Now it's pretty clear the nation can't be saved. I'm living in a nation in which the leaders are instead of trying to save it are doing everything they can to cause its demise.

You are correct. But it still does not excuse the current outbreak of unrestrained judicial excess.

And the illegal, unconstitutional acts of the big government administrative and surveillance state proceed unimpeded by mere technicalities like being declared outside the law.

I ask only one question: if Big Government can ignore the rulings of the federal courts with impunity, why can't sovereign states simply declare the recent SCOTUS decisions null and void? I mean really, what's stopping them? Are you afraid that the Emperor Barry will withhold your federal highway funds? Is your liberty worth a few millions in federal bribes?
