SCOTUS To Review GPS Tracking

Posted on July 3, 2011 | Leave a comment

Be sure to watch the video in the Hot Air article on this subject of warrantless monitoring.

There are references that court rulings suggest “no expectation to privacy when driving on public roads.”

And yet, to have the FBI covertly place a tracker on your car means it has to be parked and the owner nowhere in sight. Likely, your driveway. But, that’s your property. Meaning the car AND the driveway. (How about when you park inside your garage?) Check your land deed for your property lines. Only so much of your property may be easements or locally managed property. And even then, there are arguments over how much of your trash is still your property or public for the sake of criminal investigations.

Are we a nation of laws, or aren’t we? The U.S. Constitution and local laws seem to say so.

“The law applies to everyone or it means nothing.”

Wright Makes A Wrong

Posted on July 3, 2011 | Leave a comment

Great Jumpin Jehosophat, er, Jeremiah.

Come now, Pastor Wright, methinks you have that wrong. All Whites are not liars, and you are far from perfect.

I’d turn the other cheek but this can’t be allowed to go unanswered.

You need some serious help. You are poisoning the people in your audience.

Gotcha Moment

Posted on June 29, 2011 | Leave a comment

Part of the transcript …..

Jessica Yellin. Congratulations, your first question here.

Q Thank you, Mr. President.

THE PRESIDENT: No pressure. You’re going to do great. (Laughter.)

Q Thank you. Your administration has laid out four different dates by which you’ve said that the debt ceiling must be raised or the U.S. would face potential dire consequences. Three of those dates have come and gone and we haven’t faced financial calamity. Some of your critics have argued that these are then scare tactics to force a deal. So why should the American people believe that the August 2nd deadline is the final deadline by which a deal must be raised? And would you also spell out for us what you believe will happen if the debt ceiling is not raised by that date?

THE PRESIDENT: Jessica, let’s be clear. We haven’t given out four different dates. We have given out dates that are markers for us getting into trouble. It’s the equivalent of you’re driving down the street and the yellow light starts flashing. The yellow light is flashing. Now, it hasn’t been a red light yet. So what Tim Geithner has said is, technically speaking, we’re in a position now where we’re having to do a whole bunch of things to make sure that our bills are paid.

He’s not even on the road to salvation.
Great job, Jessica.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Prosser Attacked

Posted on June 26, 2011 | Leave a comment

Relax. It’s not what you think.
Recently re-elected Justice Prosser has been attacked in articles claiming that he put a choke hold on a younger, bigger than he, Justice Ann Bradley.

There are different accounts, different claims, by at least three anonymous – but present (?) – individuals. Published by yet another – but is that story accurate and fair?

Rather than try to recap that, I point you to Ann Althouse’s article on this. I trust her more than anyone else on this. It is a very enlightening read with a lot of proper questions, and concerns, that Ann brings to the forefront.

My concern is how far will this go, and who will be vindicated?

POTUS Gives Exec Order Instituting DREAM Act

Posted on June 26, 2011 | 2 comments

He doesn’t need Congress, he can do it himself. He did it.

That’s called being a ruler, a tyrant, a dictator. When is he going to be reigned in?

When is Congress going to step up and do their job upholding the U.S. Constitution? (Yeah, I know. Wishful thinking.)

Trouble is, Congress fails to realize that this President is setting the stage for future Presidents to do exactly the same thing. So why do we need Congress anymore, hhmmm?

For that matter, when do we stop using the term – President, and replace it with something else?

Executive Orders need to be abolished. Departmental policy letters need to follow the Constitution and not create new circumstances.

Bill To Freeze POTUS Power To Grant Amnesty

Posted on June 25, 2011 | Leave a comment

Go for it, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas).

He said that under the new guidelines ICE agents could defer the deportations of “millions of deportable illegal and criminal immigrants.”

“The Obama administration cannot continue to pick and choose which laws it will enforce,” said Smith in a statement. “It is outrageous that they have put illegal immigrants and their liberal political base ahead of the American people.”

UPDATE: In-State Tuition Hijinks By SBE and Casa de MD

Posted on June 25, 2011 | Leave a comment

Word is that the State Board of Elections has allowed Casa de Maryland to take originals of petitions with signatures to copy them at Kinko’s.

And when organizers, to get this to referendum, ask to be present at Kinko’s – they are told no. By the State Board of Elections.

Now isn’t that just special and smacks of ill will towards everyone working according to the rules of obtaining voter signatures.

A 45 News article and video.

And we are now getting word that volunteers are being chased off of taxpayer paid, government/public property by police and MVA employees and even CASA de MD protesters. If you have a Facebook account, go to it and start reading.

History in the making.

It also sounds it is way past time for a complete regime change here in The Old Line State.

Eyes Over Arizona has a little more on this topic.

If you can help towards convincing the State Board of Elections to change their minds, here’s how:

Please email (over this weekend) Linda Lamone and Mary Wagner of the SBE, expressing your concerns about them handing over official documents to Casa de Maryland. Follow the email up with phone calls first thing Monday morning. We must flood their office, inboxes, and phone lines.

Phone: 410-269-2840 or 800-222-8683

Email: info@elections.state.md.us

Fax:
410-974-2019
410-974-5415
410-974-5126

Address: 151 West Street, suite 200, Annapolis

If you can drive down there and protest in person, please do so. We must demand that they conduct a proper handling of this PIA request by CASA. The chain of custody of the petition forms must not be violated.

They are handing over the only official, original copy of the petition forms to the opponent of the petition effort, while denying the petition sponsor the right to be present while CASA makes photocopies.

We need to spread the word: pass on to your email contact lists, blog about it, call in to radio shows about it, make online comment posts to articles about it, make posts on Facebook about it. ALL HANDS ON DECK!

UPDATE: And more from Hassan Giordano. Also, Ann Miller’s Examiner page.
