The Fourth Amendment broadly guarantees that Americans should be free from government intrusion in their homes and private lives and that infringements on these rights must come with the justification of a warrant or probable cause. These guarantees and protections form the basis of property protections and a right to privacy both of which are fundamental to individual liberty.
In 2015, Kavanaugh went out of his way to minimize these protections. During his tenure on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, he issued a separate concurrence in the denial of a rehearing en banc in Klayman v. Obama. That case dealt with the constitutionality of the National Security Agency’s collection of telephone metadata of all Americans. In telecommunications, metadata is the information on the length and time of calls and their origins and destinations which includes a sweeping amount of data and can offer broad details of the private lives of Americans. In his statement, Kavanaugh sided with the government writing, “In my view, the government’s metadata collection program is entirely consistent with the Fourth Amendment.”
BINGO!!
We are NOT talking about content. Meta data is the outside information, not the inside information. We are also NOT talking about ISPs, rather cell phone carriers. What is collected is source phone number, destination phone number, length of the call - the information needed to make the connection.
We were using dumb terminals distributed throught the plant so that info could get from manufacturing to accounting much faster. But it was a bit glitchy and would log a person off randomly.
One could also write BASIC programs if they wished.
So I self taught myself BASIC and wrote a program that simulated IDENTICALLY the login screen.
What folks ACTUALLY got was my program that was sitting in a loop; waiting for them to enter their password.
After grabbing it and storing it, it then typed some random gibberish and logged off; which then brought up the REAL login screen.
That’s hilarious. Thanks...
If you wish to talk about your guns, I’m certainly not going to try to stop you.
I know, I said that in my original post, then got off on a tangent about email, which is another issue, whether you own the content once you send it over the internet. Some argue that once you turn it over to third party for delivery they own it.
Anyone using a computer has already clicked on agreements saying that they agree to stipulations that allow entities to collect data on them.....
Generally speaking, email is closer to a post card. The only way that you can change that to more of a letter is to encrypt the contents.
LOL!!
If you think the NSA isn’t collecting content, teh/n I think you’re naive.
I think you do both.
The Trump personality cul is as bad as the Obama personality cult. Just because Trump supports somethign or someone, that doesn’t automatically make it right.
It is hopelessly naive to believe that they’re not listening.
That is my sense too. He’s been around the Swamp a long time. I hope you and I are wqrong. I hope we didn’t get Soutered.
Yes, it’s called teh Fourth Amendment.
You know, Schumer urged the president to do jsut that.
But if President Trump nominated Garland, Schumer and tehrest of that pond scum would oppose him.
A judge who is concerned about the Fourth Amendment shouldn’t be upholding that corruption.
The best version of bragging about your weapons was from Gordn Liddy when he was doing his radio program.
A caller asked him on the air if he owned any guns. “No,” he said, “I’m not allowed to. But Mrs. Liddy owns several, whcih she keeps on my side of the bed.”
I figure they have had a file on me for decades, and I’m disappointed if they don’t.
I’m sure you actually believe that.
