Big Brother Unleashed (a rant)

Everyone who supports these invasions of privacy by the State and who reports they have nothing to hide.....we want to install a webcam in your bedroom so we can see what you don't have to hide.

See, but you are not a judge, your opinion, while important, does not carry as much weight.

Nor does yours. But this is why I started the thread; to get comments and opinions from others regarding the executive order which "may" be unconstitutional. Maybe to get a discussion amongst our community regarding where that dividing line lies for the average citizen.

So you do feel that the FBI talking to a 17 year old, but not doing anything, violated this young man's rights.

The fact that they did nothing is irrelevant. Though it is perhaps in poor taste, there is nothing illegal about having PLO scrawled on your notebook, or in having photos of suicide bombers on your cell phone. If there is not more to the story, then what grounds did they have for questioning him? I really do not know enough of the details of the event, but I would say it depends upon how and why they questioned him. Do you have a link to a detailed account of the event?

I would also disagree that the President feels the Constitution of the United States is, "just a piece of GD paper", your interpretation of his actions notwithstanding.

Interpretation not needed, as those were his words. Google it.

I have written my "representatives" ... about my concerns, have you?

Plenty of times over the years.
