sissifytoserve: Oh my godyou are making this too easy. Actually, you’ve FAILED to prove that (1) you are a constitutionalist and (2) that the administration is destroying the constitution. sissifytoserve: The Bush Administration is totally RAPING and evicerating the constitution... Actually, no he is not. Your collection of other people’s analysis and bills in progress does not amount to proof that the Bush Administration is raping and eviscerating the constitution. sissifytoserve: Hes making even Clinton seem Conservative by comparrison........ None of your sources indicate that. I will demonstrate that with my rebuttals. quote:
Tommy Franks: Martial Law Will Replace Constitution After Next Terror Attack Newsmax Friday, Nov. 21, 2003 Gen. Tommy Franks says that if the United States is hit with a weapon of mass destruction that inflicts large casualties, the Constitution will likely be discarded in favor of a military form of government. Franks, who successfully led the U.S. military operation to liberate Iraq under President Bush, expressed his worries in an extensive interview he gave to the men's lifestyle magazine Cigar Aficionado. First things first. You do realize that this is one man’s opinion, do you? “Will likely” is not the same as “WILL” by itself. This is not proof that the Administration IS “raping” and “eviscerating” the constitution. NEXT… quote:
DOMESTIC SECURITY AND ENHANCEMENT ACT The second Patriot Act is much worse than the first...and they didn't want you to know about It until after they had sprung an attack. Click here to read the full document that John Ashcroft publicly stated didn't exist. PDF: http://www.prisonplanet.com/patriot2-hi.pdf I don’t want someone’s analysis. I want to see the actual wording of the document and judge for myself what it is saying. I’ve scoured the first patriot act, and found nothing resembling the doom and gloom the others associated with it. quote:
PATRIOT ACT II ANALYSIS http://www.infowars.com/print_patriotact2_analysis.htm OK, I’ve gone through and all I saw was what SOMEONE else said about the contents. I did not see the actual wording of the Patriot II. I don’t want someone telling me what he thinks about the act. I want to see it myself and make my own judgement. Someone’s opinion. Does not constitute eroding the constitution. NEXT… quote:

If the legislative branch passes this and the president signs it into law, then it becomes law of the land, supported by the constitution. However, from what I understand, this did not make it. A similar attempt made in the house FAILED. I know allot of people that are young who are not serving. NEXT… quote:

PDF: http://www.prisonplanet.com/hr4757.pdf Do you see what I have highlighted in red? Starting to see an emerging pattern here? You are accusing the administration of CURRENTLY raping and eviscerating the constitution. As proof, you are presenting to me bills and OTHER people’s OPINIONS of certain laws. Sorry, this DOES NOT prove your claims that the Administration IS eviscerating the constitution. NEXT… quote:
Americans Target of Massive Domestic Spying Network Sue Bushell, CIO 27/06/2006 10:41:56 In the US that would make the best custodian of telephone records the telephony companies. It is not yet clear how well those principles have been observed by the US government under its massive domestic surveillance program, yet American's privacy has been put under serious threat nevertheless. USA Today revealed last month that the National Security Agency (NSA) has been secretly collecting the phone call records of tens of millions of Americans, using data provided by "best custodians" AT&T, Verizon and BellSouth. USA Today claimed the program reached into homes and businesses across the nation by amassing information about the calls of ordinary Americans - few of them suspected of any crime. While the NSA has apparently not been listening to or recording conversations, it has been using the data to analyze calling patterns in an effort to detect terrorist activity, according to USA Today sources. Do you see the red statement? How about the word that I have underlined? Do you see it? They are using ONLY what they need to check for patterns. That is a REASONABLE search. NEXT…. quote:
**** All About NSA's and AT&T's Big Brother Machine, the Narus 6400 by bewert Fri Apr 07, 2006 at 10:47:24 PM PDT Earlier today we found out that the EFF had sued AT&T over their secret work with the NSA on surveillance of millions of US citizens without wiretaps. We learned that paragraph 65 of this complaint shows EFF is trying to turn it into a nationwide Class Action suit covering all current and former customers (any after 9/2001) of AT&T. And we learned that a retired AT&T technician had stepped forward and disclosed the installation of secret NSA spy equipment in the San Francisco trunk facility. As well as the belief that similar equipment is in place in Seattle, San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego. Read more here: http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2006/4/8/14724/28476 There is precedence that helps the federal government’s case. This case threatens to expose classified information. This search is reasonable and is in pursuit of terrorist activities. The case has not been resolved yet. Since this has precedence, this is hardly one of the administration CURRENTLY eviscerating the constitution. NEXT…. quote:
*** US plans massive data sweep The Christian Science Monitor | February 9 2006 By Mark Clayton The US government is developing a massive computer system that can collect huge amounts of data and, by linking far-flung information from blogs and e-mail to government records and intelligence reports, search for patterns of terrorist activity. The system - parts of which are operational, parts of which are still under development - is already credited with helping to foil some plots. It is the federal government's latest attempt to use broad data-collection and powerful analysis in the fight against terrorism. But by delving deeply into the digital minutiae of American life, the program is also raising concerns that the government is intruding too deeply into citizens' privacy. This system is designed to search for specific data. The operators enter specific search parameters. The system does the search. Not a bad idea. As long as they are searching for terrorist activity, they would not know your personal data. That would not show up if it is not a part of their search parameters. This is just bringing law enforcement into the 21st century. Does not raise to raping our constitution. “IS NEXT” - 1980’s commercial parodying the Soviets. quote:
*** Bush acknowledges secret order for domestic spying 31 minutes ago WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Saturday acknowledged he signed a secret order after the September 11, 2001, attacks to allow the surveillance of people in the United States. In a rare live radio address, Bush defended the practice as a "vital tool" in defending the United States against another such attack. The presidential order was first reported in The New York Times on Friday. The report said the order allowed the National Security Agency to track international telephone calls and e-mails of hundreds of people without the court approval normally required for domestic spying. Go back and read one of my earlier posts. There is a law that specifically authorizes that. The president CAN authorize warrantless searches under certain conditions. What I’ve highlighted in red is backed by law. This falls under REASONABLE searches. The constitution covers UNREASONABLE searches. AGAIN, this does not amount to the administration CURRENTLY raping the constitution. As I’ve predicted, you’ve FAILED to prove that the administration is “destroying” the constitution. All you’ve done was bring up bills that were considered, mentioned what OTHER people have said, and brought up isolated cases that were DEBATABLE. Some of your own references worked against your argument. Thank you for making it easy for me to prove my point. sissifytoserve: I could keep going...... If it is going to be a continued DISMAL failure to prove your point, don’t bother wasting your time and my time. I predict that any future attempt will reflect this current failed attempt.
