Palin can't name a US Supreme Court case other than Roe v. Wade? She went blank, couldn't give a response, nothing, nada? Moose in headlights? from politico about the Couric interview: After noting Roe vs. Wade, Palin was apparently unable to discuss any major court cases. There was no verbal fumbling with this particular question as there was with some others, the aide said, but rather silence. What about the litigation involving the Valdez decided June 25, 2008 (while she was governor)? ...

McCain was in Middleburg on Tuesday the 23rd. McCain in northeast Ohio: Undecided on Wall Street bailout package Tom Beres 1 day ago MIDDLEBURG HEIGHTS -- Senator John McCain says he has not decided whether or not to support the Wall Street bailout package now being reviewed by Congress. The price tag is $700 billion, but could run higher. In an exclusive interview he told Tom Beres,"I have not had a chance to see it in writing. I have to examine it." But he listed the factors he consid...

Check out this link (Link) Second, Havemeister has violated her own prohibition against using information to benefit "the staff or his or her family." In fact, Havemeister even after being told not to, has reportedly had repeated meetings in her office with local farmers hoping to lease Mat Maid's equipment at a sweetheart price. Her father in law is one of the main players in the newly formed SouthCentral Dairy Co-Op. At the last Creamery Board meeting on November 11, the board voted t...

time we weren't sure that would be high enough. The water kept coming and coming and rising. My brother, his wife and 2 toddlers, his MIL and FIL and his SIL and her husband and child were in his one story house next door. I had left my dogs in their kennels in my sister's greenhouse. They started to freak out and my BIL and I went out in the storm to check on them. We found them up to their necks in water and quickly grabbed them up and took them to the upstairs bathroom in the house. B...

Put all of your personal papers in a water tight container. Be sure you have a life vest and/or other floatation device. If you have family and friends that are with you, they need to have floatation devices too. Also, a rope is a good thing to have on hand as you may want to use it to keep everyone connected, a life line as you try to get out of the surge. Put some dry clothing for everyone and some blankets in a sealed bag or container and put them in the attic (this can be used as a f...

we didn't play the hand, we let the pair of jokers they had showing take the pot and didn't even ask for cards. Obama is doing the right thing as is Biden - I'm not sure anyone can get the folks here to shut down their gossip and rumor threads and I don't think it matters. No, we don't have the big an impact on things in this world - folks will look to Obama/Biden and will see that they are sticking to what matters and their policies offer hope - that they are offering ways to fix things. The...

Alaska has huge budget surplus -- The money is there to fund the existing programs as well as to fund the other program. The cuts don't appear to be necessary and are cuts to the budgets of existing and necessary program(s). Palin's stern veto pen at a time when the state is swimming in cash has helped establish her credentials as a fiscal conservative, economic analysts here say -- although critics complain that she has failed to use the state's unprecedented oil bounty to help tackle pere...

election night '04 is illegal, a violation of the Hatch Act. Rove was not on GWB's payroll as an employee of the admin, he was his campaign manager. This operation being conducted from the White House violates the law. Remember the hell they gave Gore for allegedly making phone calls asking for support while he was VP and in the White House. (Image) Oh, you may want to save this image as like images seem to be disappearing from the net. There is one of Rove on the phone at his laptop that...

The provision that some allege provides immunity actually provides "statutory defenses". A lawsuit is initiated when the plaintiff(s) file a complaint alleging the tort(s) and setting forth the facts as they know them. The defendant(s) are then required to answer the complaint. An answer is comprised of denials and defenses. Rule 12 provides a list of potential defenses that a defendant can rely on. There are other statutory defenses available, depending on the identity of the defendant. I...

It is about getting the court orders to conduct the surveillance. Now, since I debunked 1, 2 and 3, shall I debunk 4 and 5 for you? 4) Any case against the telecoms "shall be promptly dismissed" if they can show that the president directed them in writing to break the law. In other words: as long as the president gave them a permission slip (which we already know is the case), the companies cannot be sued.Well, where to start. The president didn't follow the FISA laws and he ordered the monit...

LOL, boy you can't even debate an issue properly. ‘(a) Authorization- Notwithstanding any other provision of law, upon the issuance of an order in accordance with subsection (i)(3) or a determination under subsection (c)(2), the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence may authorize jointly, for a period of up to 1 year from the effective date of the authorization, the targeting of persons reasonably believed to be located outside the United States to acquire foreign intellige...

‘SEC. 702. PROCEDURES FOR TARGETING CERTAIN PERSONS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES OTHER THAN UNITED STATES PERSONS. You do know that non-US citizens (other than US persons) have no constitutional rights outside of the United States, don't you? I'm not being paid, I just don't do "parrot" well. When this all began I thought "damn I got to see this evil language" and low and behold, there are protections through out the bill - most notably is the number of times it requires PROBABLE CAUSE and spe...

Please provide me the language from the legislation that supports your lovely little "bullet points". I'll start, make it easy on you. 1) Judicial review is no longer required for a wiretap. The Attorney General or the freaking Director of National Intelligence simply have to issue an "authorization" that they are "targeting people reasonably believed to be located outside the United States." MYTH (well actually blatant lie, but let's settle for myth). ‘SEC. 703. CERTAIN ACQUISITIONS INSIDE ...

(Link) Jul. 09, 2008 | On July 3, Chief Judge Vaughn Walker of the U.S. District Court in California made a ruling particularly worthy of the nation's attention. In Al-Haramain Islamic Foundation Inc. v. Bush, a key case in the epic battle over warrantless spying inside the United States, Judge Walker ruled, effectively, that President George W. Bush is a felon. Judge Walker held that the president lacks the authority to disregard the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA -- which mea...

‘SEC. 703. CERTAIN ACQUISITIONS INSIDE THE UNITED STATES TARGETING UNITED STATES PERSONS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES. ‘(2) PROBABLE CAUSE- In determining whether or not probable cause exists for purposes of paragraph (1)(B), a judge having jurisdiction under subsection (a)(1) may consider past activities of the target and facts and circumstances relating to current or future activities of the target. No United States person may be considered a foreign power, agent of a foreign power, or officer o...

Halperin missed another important measure that this legislation includes. It protects the 1st amendment rights of US citizens, they can not be monitored simple because they are members of an organization that may have ties to terrorism (or anti-war). I've said for days that this legislation, though not perfect, is better than what we have or what we faced. It does not infringe upon US citizens civil rights, it further protects them by repeating throughout the bill that the 4th amendment right...

Most folks miss the obvious, even if it gives immunity as alleged (which I don't see as immunity, but as defined in the bill, statutory defenses which must be established by "substantial evidence provided to the court",) the key thing is the time span covered in provision 802. ‘(A) in connection with an intelligence activity involving communications that was-- ‘(i) authorized by the President during the period beginning on September 11, 2001, and ending on January 17, 2007; and The ille...

motion or upon the motion of any party to the suit. Please don't say what the bill says if you don't know what it provides. Here, will it help if you read it? ‘SEC. 802. PROCEDURES FOR IMPLEMENTING STATUTORY DEFENSES. ‘(a) Requirement for Certification- Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a civil action may not lie or be maintained in a Federal or State court against any person for providing assistance to an element of the intelligence community, and shall be promptly ...

Go read the bill, stop letting others think for you. The person that wrote that article has no clue about the structure of sentences and the fact that the language of the bill speaks for itself. `(B) the subject of a written request or directive, or a series of written requests or directives, from the Attorney General or the head of an element of the intelligence community (or the deputy of such person) to the electronic communication service provider indicating that the activity was-- `(i)...

`(ii) determined to be lawful; or IT HAS TO BE DETERMINED TO BE LAWFUL. How do you determine electronic surveillance is lawful if it violates the 4th amendment rights of a collection of US citizens? Well, you can't and if you certified it was lawful, the court would review the certification upon their own initiative or at the request of the plaintiffs, to determine that the probable cause existed for the entire class of US citizen - plaintiffs - whose electronic communications were monitored...

The existing FISA law did not allow the monitoring they did, he ignored the FISA courts and ordered it be done because he wanted it done. Then of course there was the PPA and as Obama has stated, the FISA law is far better than allowing the pres to rely on that. IMHO, what the existing FISA law and the proposed legislation does is provide laws that must be followed when monitoring US citizens under the guise of national security - to prevent or capture or detect spying. Thus, it provides for l...

truly constructive criticism, it is just spreading misinformation. I don't agree with Obama since it gives the telecoms immunity from civil prosecution and that is where a lot of the heavy lifting for later criminal prosecution will come from The telecoms and anyone else sued for violating a US citizen's civil rights by tapping their phones or internet or whatever have defenses without FISA, those defenses are pretty basic and obvious and are outlined in the proposed FISA legislation. Go rea...

A lightworker is a person who feels inspired to help others through spiritual meditation, teaching, healing, prayer, writing and speaking through unconditonal love. ... -snip- Probably the most common form of Lightwork would be a person who chooses to "shine their light." The premise behind the concept of "shining your light" is that our world and society are improved by people being kind, compassionate, loving, and considerate to each other. It is choosing to use actions, thoughts and words t...

Randi Rhodes did a very poor job when she tried to be a stand up comic. Granted, her routine included a very poor choice of words, but words that many hillary supporters use here constantly. They will call everyone a whore (but hillary) and not think twice about it. They use the word in the same manner Rhandi used it, not as an insult to women but reflecting her belief that hillary is a sell out to the corporations and the war mongers and whatever other special interest is out there that can ...

The world knows we have the greatest nuclear capabilities and we protect Israel, no announcements to the world are necessary. She is proposing some type of coalition headed by the USofA outside of the UN - where we provide the "umbrella of security" to our allies, our member states. She is about globalization with the US in charge. Temper it as you like, you can't disguise what she said and intends. Neo-cons Rule!!! :grr:

Someone that did make it up the ranks, on her own, that did fight against the adversities and the discrimination and past the harassment and scorn to be the top in her field. Hillary has got nothing on this woman and it annoys me to no end that others think she is such a shining example, that she has struggled and she cares. Tell me what she did on the board of WalMart to make it easier for women in that organization to enjoy equal benefits? (Image) D.C.'s first female police chief not afrai...
