Feds had claimed documents related to giving telecom companies retroactive immunity from spying-related lawsuits couldn't be ready until December 31, but a judge disagreed.
Web sites launch all the time, but they also shut their doors. We highlight 15 that bit the dust this year.

case about finding justice with a White House that has sought to
immunize itself from the law and do what ever they please in the
name of national security. Well I have news for you. We are a
nation of laws and that law must be abided by, by everyone
including those in the oval office.
As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those willing to give up a little
liberty for a little security deserve neither security nor liberty."
Quit living in fear, you neo-con(ned) fool! The fact of the matter
is that you are now living in a country that is LESS safe now then
it was before 911 but the difference now is that you have given
up your liberty for a false sense of security. To that, you
deserve neither!!!
laws, she's trying to enforce them.
It's Bush who's trying to re-write the laws. Bush hates America
and all it stands for, so he's done everything he could to destroy
our great nation. Remember that he *KNEW* terrorists would
strike using commercial aircraft as weapons IN AUGUST 2001!
Why would he do this? $$$
I guess morons like you just won't accept the fact that the first
request the Bush administration made on a telecom to turn over
traffic records (Quest) happened almost a year BEFORE 9-11
HAPPENED!!
Bush has been trying to rewrite the laws so that his past actions
won't have been illegal. That's also why he insists on immunity
for the telecoms - both he and they knew they were breaking the
law.
At least you were right about one thing, these creeps should be
removed from office. You're just wrong about who those creeps
are.
The senior administration has proven time and time again they are dishonest scum hellbent on world domination and American subjugation. To me, things have to make sense... eroding the very thing the administration claims to be fighting for all while making backroom deals and being caught with unclean hands in the name 'defeating terrorism' just doesn't.
You're a sheep. You're a lemming. You're thinking is defective.
...some of the people that post here appear to absolutely hate the U.S. Constitution, and virtually every basic American-right, so much.
One theory that might explain this, seriously, irrational-behavior is that they either, arent even Americans, or possibly, are simply well-under 18 (or both), and are therefore, simply immature "trolls", childishly trying to evoke the strongest-reactions that they can provoke. This would explain why they keep spewing the most cowardly, Anti-American, and utterly ridiculous RHETORIC (in defense of such criminal-actions). They actually are, intentionally, trying to be insanely-outlandish.
This would also explain why it is that they vomit hatred every single time there is even the slightest-hint that some powerful (and clearly corrupt/criminal) entity might be, in any way, held accountable for their-own actions (...when they are clearly shown to be violating the law, the U.S. Constitution, and/or the most fundamental-rights of others).
No one can take these posters seriously, because their tirades are complete nonsense to begin with... merely parodies of the actual issues.
However, in the end, I just wish that such posters (whether or not, they actually believe the unmitigated-crap that they keep coughing-up), could stop using the same-old standard, pedantic, and extremely-limited, vocabulary... of the very corrupt, totalitarian, and treasonous, propaganda-pushing CROOKS... that certain, well-known, posters keep defending... But, maybe, that is just asking too much.

Why do you hate America and it's freedom so much?
I would be careful with this one - its people like you that hate our freedoms that perform terrorist attacks.

Thank heavens someone is finally saying ENOUGH!!!
I know there are those who will say that if you are not a terrorist you should have nothing to hide. To those I would say that there are many reasons for keeping private data private until there is a subpoena.
To the nutjob with the first posting - why not have the FBI or NSA search through your house without a warrant or probable cause. These records are not for actual suspects but anyone that is in the extended social network of potential suspects. That why they can't get a subpoena. I'm sure you are somehow connected to a suspect a few degrees away (6 or 7? can't be too safe these days) so if you're not doing anything illegal you have nothing to hide.

(28 Comments)Who hires these "conservative" flamethrowers to spew venom at the people who want to preserve the real America?
I can't imagine any of them thinking for themselves. They must be that 23% of people that can't be turned, once they make up their minds, fact or not.
I just don't get it
