<SNIP> This is the same court that thinks that wiretapping and recording the entire fucking internet doesn't violate the fourth amendment. I think we lost the government as a whole when we lost the supreme court.

Record the whole internet? You mean look at what people put up on the internet and copy anything you want? Sort of like *you* do everytime you log on? But the Supreme Court should rule that no one else can do it but you?

There is no rational jurist in the world that would rule that if people choose to do something out in the middle of the largest public audience in the world, that the government is supposed to pretend they can't see them.

the "whole internet" would also include what most people consider private email, voip communications, even private between friends only FB communications.. of course the govt has special software to analyze all that and try to spot people that they feel they should watch and investigate.. btw, the govt referred to OWS activists as "domestic terrorists".. you can bet the govt was recording and watching every time they farted.. including everything they said in both public & private internet communications.. The govt has turned your right to free speech into "terrorism".. gotta love how the US govt can twist things like that..

"In certain documents, divisions of the FBI refer to the Occupy Wall Street protests as a "criminal activity" or even "domestic terrorism.""

I'm assuming you are completely unschooled in both technology and data security. No, I cannot do what the government does. Neither can you. For instance, you cannot read all my gmail (or any other email) going back over the last decade. The government can. Were you or I try try that we'd be prosecuted for hacking.

So yes, lots and lots of rational jurists would want to know why, exactly, the government can intrude on password protected personal information (such as gmail) without any sort of warrant. They've basically wire-tapped the internet.

Nice backpedal. Your ignorance is about the law, and the teenybopper computer braggadocio is irrelevant.

What you post on a forum like CM is open to millions of viewers (your lies notwithstanding), and you are whining that the Supreme Court doesn't somehow ban the police from reading your posts along with everyone else.

And while you bemoan your comic book fantasy's failure to alter real life, there are serious civil rights and privacy violations piling up every day... with no comment from you.
