Congress passed the act in 2002. It includes all kinds of stuff, like warrant-less sneaking into people's homes to manufacture evidence. The Prime case on that was classifying a 13 year-olds homework as "Spanish" documents so her father could be arrested. The case against the father, Brandon Mayfield, turned out to be entirely bogus. But taxpayers will be paying for that for a long time. Brilliant Congressional legislation, still on the books. Wonder why they told the AP. Not required.

You all voted for this "dear leader", gonna have to live with him. And watch out, if you are one of those Tea Party people, you are or will be investigated by the IRS.

for a government that seems to feed "friendly" news outlets like the new york times almost daily tidbits of information from unnamed "senior intelligence officials", when it suits their purpose, the obama administration seems unduly upset over this case. why would they be so keen to suppress a news story about a successful operation to protect americans from a jihadist terror plot? oris it just that one of their trained "news pets" reverted back to using the "t-word"?

You're missed at Haaretz, bro. For a moment drop the Jews and read the U.S. opinion pieces about your Kenyan Messiah. It might sober you up but it's doubtful.

obama has enemies lists, intimidates real or imagined enemies, and violates the constitution by spying on reporters through the seizure of the records of their phone conversations.

He was selected and designated by clever design. Weren't for the support of obscure "grey eminences" - many of them Marxist Jewish billionaires and media moguls - he would have remained what he always has been: a street organizer nobody. Those same people will protect him to death at any price. Ask the Shuzbergers- (N.Y.Times)- Soros axis. Their Leftist rule is at stake. Study the history of Leftist revolutions to comprehend their modus operandi.

no one becomes president without the backing of establishment figures. however, once a person is elected, he assumes enormous power. usually what stands between a president and absolute power is respect for the institutions including the judiciary. in some cases, the person has contempt for the people and for the institutions. in such case, they disregard the limits put on their power by the constitution. obama is a narcissist who does not care about the limits of power. all he cares about is the exercise of power. i agree that the press gave him a free ride until now. who his original backers were will come out only when history is written. it is known that his friends as a young man were muslims. he went to columbia at the same time that brzezinski was teaching there. his supporters in chicago were the chicago machine. the fact that obama is half black was essential to his success in chicago and therefore in his quest for the presidency.

E. Europeans and Russians have much better understanding about how the Marxist ("liberal") power grab works than the naive Americans. Once they did the same in E. Europe so no wonder people have a visceral hatred toward them over there. They were removed from power so now they moved to the West (E.U. + U.S.) to destroy those countries as well. Be sure that the Obama people will easily chew up the old fashion "constitutionalists" because they regard them as whining pussycats. -- And so they are.
