As anyone who knows me might have expected, I was delighted that a judge (who was appointed by Carter, hmmmm) ordered an immediate stop to the wiretapping program that allowed the government to tap into someone phone line without a warrant. Under this program no warrant had to be obtained before or after the tap was put in place. It was ruled, rightly so, as unconstitutional.
Of course, the Bush administration reacted immediately. "We're going to do everything we can do in the courts to allow this program to continue," U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said at a Washington news conference. Well duh.
Liberty is dying. Every move to resuscitate it is met with the resistance of a bureaucratic brick wall. Big Brother is coming for you whether you deserve it or not. Apparently, we're all terrorists now.
