Hoping you’ll hammer the DHS-Napolitano report. It’s contemptuous of our Constitutional rights. It politicizes law enforcement and homeland security.

No apology can cure this corruption. Unless Obama replaces Napolitano, rescinds/edits this report and distances himself from it ASAP, his entire administration will be contaminated by her profoundly un-American action.

Washington with Mark Ambinder, THE ATLANTIC, 4/17/09
“Judge Skeptical Of State Secrets Privilege For NSA/Charity Case”

The Obama administration suffered a bit of a legal setback this afternoon: a federal judge in California rejected the administration’s assertion of the state secrets privilege in the civil suit brought by [a] charity that was allegedly subjected to illegal NSA surveillance.

Judge Walker crafted his order narrowly to prevent the government from appealing it immediately to the Ninth Circuit. On May 8, it will be interesting to see whether the administration presents a plan for safeguarding classified info — or whether it re-asserts the state secrets privilege.

Feingold Wants Policymakers Prosecuted

From an interview with the editorial board of the Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter in Manitowoc, WI, Sen. Russ Feingold:

“I understand that the president believes that the people who actually administered these tactics should be immune. I’m not sure about that. I understand that they have a greater argument than those who created the policies. But those who created these legal theories, knowing full well that there was not a reasonable argument, I’m not so sure they shouldn’t be accountable. I don’t see how we as a country say oh fine we knew this was against [sovereign] law, we knew it was against our own laws, and these people can come up with any phony legal opinion they want. I’ve read these opinions because I’m on the intelligence committee and had access to them much earlier than the public. These arguments are bogus..”

Report ASSESSMENT:

Obama is covering his own prejudicial abuses by promoting “State Secrets” executive privilege and by exerting leniency towards government officials who KNOWINGLY break the law in order to promote Obama’s agenda painted “with good intent”.

The agenda?

WHERE is the White House specific definition confining the government’s terminology, “white supremacist“?

WE KNOW that Obama considers our Founding Fathers to be white supremacists.

WE KNOW that as soon as Obama took office, the FBI and the NSA were directed to spy upon those whom candidate Obama referenced as typical white people. Now that Obama is in the White House, he has escalated the adjective from “typical” to “supremacist”.

No, morons, I am not insinuating that Obama has your file in hand.

The point is that Obama constructs incredibly huge gateways through which Obama can selectively pounce at will upon any innocent individual or sect with an instant smear job leaving that person or that group defenseless, as governmental branch arms have been twisted to steer clear of Obama’s game or suffer likewise.

Reflex (Annenberg USC: take 17 seconds to determine an emotion): Some jump “hopefully”. Some bury their heads in the sand. Some drop their jaws and dismiss any further inconvenience detracting from their settled estates. Some go figure. Some have a voice.
