The administration argues that the Iraq war resolution
allows Bush to take whatever measures he thinks are
necessary.  According to Gonzales:

"Now, we do not have to decide whether, when we're at war
and there is a vital need for the terrorist surveillance
program, FISA unconstitutionally encroaches or places an
unconstitutional constraint upon the President's Article
II powers. We can avoid that tough question because
Congress gave the President the force resolution [i.e.,
to use force against Iraq], and that statute removes any
possible tension between what Congress said in 1978 in
FISA and the President's constitutional authority today."

Yes, by all means, let's try to find a way to avoid "tough
questions" over whether an action is constitutional or not.

(I said in an earlier post that FISA was passed in 1972;
it was actually 1978.)

Notice that Gonzales refers to warrantless wiretapping
here as "the terrorist surveillance program," as if the
FISA law already in place didn't provide for a perfectly
good terrorist surveillance program that doesn't
"encroach upon" the ability to wiretap terrorist suspects
in the slightest.

Well said!

Yes, it is these horrible people that surround MMY and do NOT tell 
him like it is that has destroyed the Movement.

There are, indeed, MMY's curse.

It wasn't passed during the "War on Terror."  It was
passed back in 1972 as part of the fallout from Watergate.

Notice that MDixon "forgot" to explain why the fact
that a warrant isn't required until 72 (not 48) hours
after the wiretap starts doesn't eliminate the need
for the administration to be able to wiretap without
a warrant.

NOBODY KNOWS, or the public certainly doesn't, because
it's a national security matter, according to the
administration, and is therefore classified.

Just *imagine* that argument being proposed by
a Hillary Clinton administration.

It's not just that.  If the administration has been
using drowning as a method of execution, and there's
been a big debate about whether it's appropriate, and
you take a poll asking, "Do you approve of capital
punishment?" and a majority answers "Yes," you don't
report that a majority is in favor of including
drowning as a method of execution.

And if there has recently been a court ruling forbidding
drowning as a method, you don't say, "Most people want
the current methods of capital punishment in place and
it is still going on while it is appealed. So nothing
has really changed and probably won't till the Supreme
Court hears it."

That's just deliberately misleading, with intent to
deceive.

You mean beyond TM? 

BTW, Daniel Amit has been doing brain imaging on his potentially ADHD patients 
for many 
years and it is at least partly due to his clinicial experience with people who 
were NOT on 
ADHD medication when they were scanned, that has led to the current theories.

So you think that a congressional law passed during the "War on Terror" can be

Great stuff, too bad there's almost no one left to hear it! 

"Next you'll be telling us that the
pundits will come if we just squeeze our butt checks
together hard enough."

Truely a line for the Pundit Hall of Fame!

I pointed out earlier that the risk with warrantless
wiretapping is that the administration can then have
NSA wiretap anybody they want, terrorist or not.

I was amused to see the Hillary Clinton argument being
made by Judge Andrew Napolitano, Fox News's resident
legal expert, in a discussion with Bill O'Reilly on
The Radio Factor, with reference to President Hillary
Clinton.  Here's the transcript:

O'REILLY: ...The country's coming down 60-40, basically saying we 
want to be protected, we do not feel our rights are being violated by 
the NSA eavesdropping or the [USA] Patriot Act.

NAPOLITANO: Would you feel this way if Hillary [Clinton] were 
president?

O'REILLY: Yeah.

NAPOLITANO: Because then, you know, the pro-life and the pro-gun 
will -- they'll be targets of warrantless searches.

O'REILLY: No, but -- not unless they're dealing --

NAPOLITANO: And maybe conservative commentators will be targets of 
warrantless searches.

O'REILLY: Not unless we're dealing with Al Qaeda, correct? Aren't I 
correct?

NAPOLITANO: If she has to go to a judge, like FISA [Foreign 
Intelligence Surveillance Act], she'd have to demonstrate the 
connection to Al Qaeda. If she doesn't have to go to a judge,
she can pick whoever she wants.

http://mediamatters.org/items/200601130008

Generally speaking, the left would trust President
Hillary Clinton not to abuse warrantless wiretapping,
but not Bush; and the right would trust Bush but not
Hillary.

The point is: If you don't trust *both* of them, you
can't let *either* of them do it.

program, see the list on this page and following:

Ken ,you mood making twit. Do you have an original

Nobody is against the NSA program, MDixon.  What they're
against is WARRANTLESS wiretapping.

And we have no idea whether WARRANTLESS wiretapping
has been successful, because the results of it are
classified.

It was not used, incidentally, in the recent arrests
in Great Britain.  All the wiretapping in that case
was done on the basis of warrants.

No, the whole point of warrantless wiretapping is
so a judge does not HAVE to approve it before the
fact.  They have 72 hours to make the case for the
need for the wiretap.

 Quite frankly while

threats, I

Only a tiny handful of requests have been turned
down by the FISA judges, out of the hundreds 
(thousands, probably) that have been made.  And in
the case of an urgent request, that would be 72
hours after the wiretapping had begun.  If they
can't demonstrate that there's good reason to
suspect the folks they're wiretapping have
terrorist connections after 72 hours of
wiretapping, chances are excellent there isn't
any.

Again, this has almost never happened.  Remember,
the judges who give the approval are members of
the FISA court, not just any old federal judges.
They were appointed to the FISA court specifically
for the purpose of approving wiretaps; they have
expertise in just that area.

Patrick, here it is from the horse's mouth, Attorney
General Alberto Gonzales, in a speech at Georgetown
University on January 24, 2006:

...I keep hearing, "Why not FISA? Why didn't the President get orders 
from the FISA court approving these N.S.A. intercepts of al-Qaeda 
communications?" We have to remember that we're talking about a 
wartime foreign intelligence program. It is an early warning system 
with only one purpose: to detect and prevent the next attack on the 
United States from foreign agents hiding in our midst. It is 
imperative for national security reasons that we can detect reliably, 
immediately, and without delay whenever communications associated 
with al-Qaeda enter or leave the United States. 

Now, some have pointed to the provision in FISA that allows for so-
called emergency authorizations of surveillance for 72 hours without 
a court order. I think that there is a serious misconception about 
these emergency authorizations. People should know that we do not 
approve emergency authorizations without knowing that we will receive 
court approval within 72 hours. FISA requires me, the Attorney 
General, to determine in advance that a FISA application for that 
particular intercept will be fully supported and will be approved by 
the court before an emergency authorization may be granted. And that 
review process itself can take precious time. 

To initiate surveillance under a FISA emergency authorization, it is 
not enough to rely on the best judgment of our intelligence officers 
alone. Those intelligence officers would have to get the signoff of 
lawyers at the N.S.A. that all provisions of FISA have been 
satisfied. Then lawyers in the Department of Justice would have to be 
similarly satisfied. And finally, as Attorney General, I would have 
to be satisfied that the search meets the requirements of FISA. And 
then we would have to be prepared to follow up with a full FISA 
application within the 72 hours. 

We all agree that there should be appropriate checks and balances on 
our branches of government. The FISA process makes perfect sense in 
almost all cases of foreign intelligence monitoring in the United 
States. Although technology has changed dramatically since FISA was 
enacted, FISA remains a vital tool in the war on terror and one that 
we are using to its fullest and will continue to use against al-Qaeda 
and other foreign threats. But as the President has explained, the 
terrorist surveillance program operated by the N.S.A. requires a 
maximum in speed and agility, since even a very short delay may make 
the difference between success and failure in preventing the next 
attack, and we cannot afford to fail. 

http://mwcnews.net/content/view/4071/26/

In other words: They don't want to have to worry
about whether there is sufficient justification 
to initiate a wiretap.

It is a *VERY* weak argument, verging on desperation,
to claim everyone who took the poll not only understood
that the question meant this or that when it was not
mentioned at all, but that they went ahead and answered
based on that purported understanding.

Poll questions ask what they ask, not what you imagine
those polled mentally added to the questions.

Sounds like to me, it just gives then more freedom,
To tap whomever they wish.
And also with the 'data mining';
There might not be a specific target;
But a 'profile match' type thing.

We have to remember this computer stuff;
Travels at the speed of light...
So, I presume another main reason is speed.
Only one problem with that, though;

When speed was really required, to capture:
Osama bin Laden, at Tora Bora.
No troops ever arrived in time, to trap him.
Special Ops on the ground, were listening to him;
Telling his men, that he was sorry he led them into a trap.
As we know, because of lack of speed, for the requested additional 
forces;

Osama was never captured, and actually President Bush has said;
That the Osama released talk, the Friday before the election;
Helped to re-elect Bushie, to his second term.
I remember that day;
Feeling so tired...
"Something fishy is up";
I thought to myself.

Beside, Bush's attitude is so arrogant still;
I think quite similar in nature, in a strange way;
To the President of Iran.
Like weird reflections of one another's lust for power.
Just an observation...
So, I think Bush just thinks;
He is the 'War President';
We are at war;
And he is somewhat 'All-Powerful.
He talks to G*d, concerning invading Iraq;
Instead of his old man; who knew not to go in.
He's just the same old Texan Crazy George Bushie Jr.

So, whoever voted for him;
Not sure what they think;
They must be really confused.
Or think we just got fooled again.

What exactly is wrong with him getting a warrant?  The country isn't 
exactly crawling with terrorists.   Terrrorism is just an excuse they 
use to take away our rights that they don't like we peons having.  
That's part of the NeoCon doctrine.  We need to fight them every step of 
the way just as if they are terrorists which they are in my book whether 
YOU like it or not.

would be necessary to have a judge 24/7 on site. Quite frankly while you 
obviously don't trust Bush  to be tapping only terrorist threats, I 
personally don't trust a lot of federal judges and their sense of

Does anybody here listen to Rush Limbaugh, watch 
Fox news or indulge in other conservative media? 
MDixon? Shemp? Do those news sources give a reason
why the Bush administration doesn't want to follow
the established system for wiretap warrants?

I really need to get back to reading the Wall Street 
Journal. I felt the journalism was quite objective, 
perhaps a bit liberal, but the editorial page was a
bracing dose of conservative Kool-Aid.

So would I.  And I've never known Lawson to lie.

You, in contrast, deliberately misrepresented a poll.
As far as I'm concerned, that was a lie.

Not according to the latest court decision.

But you make *my* point.  It's perfectly legitimate
for a poll to ask if it's OK for the president to
break the law under specific circumstances.

At the very least, the president needs a damn good
reson to break the law, even in time of war.

There is *no* reason for Bush to break the law in
this case.

can change in times of war and issues  of national 
security.

But if I didn't try to clarify my position, then the person calling me a liar 
would be perfectly 
justified in assuming I WAS lying. You, Barry and Shemp appear to: enjoy lying, 
or enjoy 
bating Judy, or both.

Otherwise, you'd deal with her entirely differently.

Congress has set up a law requiring him to get a warrant after-the-fact. Are 
you saying 
that, in the day and age of instant communcations, the President doesn't have 
to follow 
the law because Lincoln didn't?

Spair I have never thought of you as having lied. But you seem to think 
that if you are wrong on something or your facts are not accurate that you are 
lying. I would much rather look at that as being wrong and stubborn than calling 
you a liar, unless you deliberately tried to deceive.

I didn't say that at all. I think the more appropriate question is does the 
president have the authority to wire tap without a warrant involving 
national security in a time of war. Lincoln suspended Habius Corpus, FDR did a 
number of things that would make the hair stand on end of democrats today, one

So, you think that a substantial number of Americans would respond in the 
negative to 
this  question?


Does the  President have the right to conduct wiretaps in the war on terror as 
long as he 
follows the constitutionally valid laws and procedures set by Congress?

Yes, no, not sure.

What about to THIS question?

SHOULD the President conduct wiretaps in pursuit of the War on Terror as long 
as he 
follows the constitutionally valid laws and procedures set by Congress?

Yes, no, not sure.

Right. But the one mentioned in the "usually liberal" Washington Post was an 
ABC/Fox poll. 
No matter how liberal a newspaper's editors, I would HOPE that it would report 
the fact of 
the existence of the poll without modification, regardless of what they thought 
of the 
question and answer.

Should President GW Bush be allowed to violate a law set by Congress if it is 
ruled a 
constitutional law?

Yes, no, not sure.

If the answer to the first question was yes, answer this question:
If she is elected president, should President Hillary Rodham Clinton be allowed 
to violate 
the law in the first question?

Yes, no, not sure.

Only because of the way it's been framed by
dishonest Republicans--including the administration--
as I said.  And even then, we don't know what the
numbers would have been had the Post been honest
enough to ask about WARRANTLESS wiretapping,
instead of pretending the issue was wiretapping
in general.

As Lawson pointed out, it's likely the high
percentage of negative responses to the Post's
poll reflects the opinions of people who still
remember that the issue is WARRANTLESS wiretapping.
Hardly anybody opposes the idea of wiretapping
terrorist suspects WITH a warrant.

"Silly red tape" is one of the lies the Republicans
have been pushing during the "debate."  Nobody is
tied up in "silly red tape" by the FISA requirements.
The NSA is not inhibited from acting quickly on
incoming phone calls that are a matter of national
security.

So that argument is a total crock.

The point, once again, is that without judicial
oversight, the NSA is not required to have a well-
founded suspicion to listen in on a phone call.
Why should the administration be afraid of that
requirement?  The very fact that Bush doesn't want
to have to get warrants arouses suspicion that the
NSA will not be selective about who they listen to.

A majority of the American people DO NOT TRUST the
Bush administration to operate freely without
judicial oversight.

And as somebody pointed out awhile back, for
those who *do* trust Bush, there is one absolutely
ironclad rebuttal to their argument that the
administration should be able to wiretap anyone it
pleases without a warrant:

President Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Did you miss the fact that the Pres can obtain the warrant within 48 hours 
AFTER the 
wiretap starts?

If there was a good reason to say it was flawed, sure.

But that didn't come up, did it?

As it was, it had one HUGE flaw with regard to the
issue currently in the courts: It didn't even
mention it.

Oy vay! who was trying to confuse who? The polls you sited were from 
January. And the one that asked if impeachment proceedings should proceed 
against Bush only mentioned if he were tapping people without a warrant. A very 
general and vague question which even I would agree with. The Democratic poll 
never mentioned national security and warrantless wiretapping of phone calls 
coming into the US from Terrorists. However that was explained to the public 
over the course of the debate and the public sides with the president on the 
issue, at least as of May 11 2006.

Of curse, none of these polls quite asks about the real issue: should the 
president be 
allowed to ignore the law?


The law states that the law enforcement types most get a warrant to monitor 
calls of the 
relevant kind within 48 hours AFTER the monitoring starts, IIRC.

The President never bothered to have his people do this. IN fact, since it is 
standard 
procedure for law enforcement agents to follow the law unless told otherwise, 
someone 
must have ordered these agents NOT to follow the law.

The administration *admits* it wasn't acting within
the law as written.  It claims it has the right to
disregard the law in this case.

Judy has her own style. If I lie and she notices, I rather expect she'll call 
me on it. I can 
either say "you're right, sorry," or "you're wrong, sorry," and give my reasons 
why I think 
she's wrong.

If I say "you're wrong, sorry," and don't bother to explain WHY I think she's 
wrong about 
my lying, then she's perfectly justified in assuming that I'm deliberately 
lying.

So why do you think it hypocritical? Was she criticizing the Pope? Was she

Was she even criticizing the Roman Church?

Judy, something tells me that had the Washington Post specifically

[FairfieldLife] Is MDixon still a liar, Judy?

2006-08-19 Thread shempmcgurk
Judy, you've now had many back and forths with MDixon on this issue.

Is he still the horrible liar that you claimed him to be (he didn't 
retract as you asked him to, so he must be a liar, according to 
you)...

...or...

...would you say that he makes valid points that, although you don't 
necessarily agree with him, are rationale and are not within the 
realm of "lying"?

How about this one: would you favor impeaching the President if he knowingly 
and 
deliberately ordered someone to violae the law, simply because he didn't want 
to be 
bothered to follow the law?

  What this pollsays is that the American people don't trust Bushto 
  limit the wiretapping to suspected terrorists calling into the U.S. from 
  abroad.

What this poll says is the democrats are trying to politicize the issue and 
scare Americans into thinking that Bush is listening in on their private 
conversations. But as the debate went on through the spring, it didn't work. 
People realized Bush has much more important things to do than listen in on 
their personal conversations and would much rather have him be able to implement 
the program and not be tied up with silly bureaucratic red tape when the NSA has 
to be able to move quickly on incoming phone calls that are a matter of national 
security.

As one blogger pointed out, the question, as it was asked, was NOT a good 
figure for 
Bush: why wasn't the figure 99+% in favor of wiretapping terrorists and the 
people they 
talk to?

Like all poll questions, it has interpretation issues. For instance, what if 
someone had 
asked:

Maharishi, I can learn your technique for $2500 from your organization or I can 
learn it for 
1/10 the price from someone who teaches outside your organization. Where should 
I learn 
it?


Remember, this was a question about someone who had ALREADY learned meditation 
from what MMY assumed was a non-recerted TM teacher and should they switch, not 
a 
question about whether or not they SHOULD learn from one.

As I mentioned earlier the date of your poll  was in January or 2006. 
The date of my poll is May 11 2006. Evidently people have changed their minds

Ah, yet another excuse when the first one didn't turn
out so well.

What happened in the interim was that the administration
and its Republican supporters had several months to lie
about the issue and bury the "warrantless" part of it,
making it seem as if wiretapping *per se* was what was in
question.

Dutifully, the Washington Post polled as if wiretapping
*per se* was what was in question, without mentioning
wiretapping without a warrant, so of course a majority
approved, having forgotten that there was ever an issue
over warrantlessness.

Back when the issue was fresh, when the warrantless
aspect was being reported prominently, before the
administration and the Republicans had had a chance to
confuse things, a majority was quite clear that they
did not approve of warrantless wiretapping.

There hasn't been an *honest* debate on this, just
Republican lies and a compliant "liberal" media going
along with the lies.

The point is that if there's no judicial oversight,
they can wiretap anyone they want.  What this poll
says is that the American people don't trust Bush
to limit the wiretapping to suspected terrorists 
calling into the U.S. from abroad.

Judy, did you notice the dates of the polls you sited above? They are all 
in January of this year, most within  an 11 day period. The debate about 
this matter went on most of the first half of the year. The poll I sited was the 
latest I know of, dated May 11th of this year. The public certainly had more 
time to become informed and is expressed in the Washington Post 
poll.

Yes, they do.  When you ask explicitly about WARRANTLESS
wiretapping, a majority oppose it.

>From my earlier post:

Associated Press, 1/3-5/2006 

Should the Bush Administration be required to get a warrant from a 
judge before monitoring phone and Internet communications between 
American citizens in the United States and suspected terrorists, or 
should the government be allowed to monitor such communications 
without a warrant?

Required to get warrant, 56%
Monitor without a warrant, 42%
Unsure, 2%

I was pretty sure you'd try to bluff your way

You mean, why hasn't the so-called liberal media
conducted such a poll?  Gee, I really wonder.

Not.

Some of them have come pretty close (see previous
post), but none so far has had the guts or the
integrity to ask straight out, Do you approve of
President Bush breaking the law by conducting
warrantless wiretapping?

(MDixon, I hope you aren't suggesting that Lawson's
premise is wrong, i.e., that Bush would have any
difficulty getting a warrant to wiretap the
conversations of those there was good reason to
suspect were terrorists.)
