Barack Obama, a farce you can be appalled at.
May I call your attention to the FISA Amendments act, and specifically to the 110th congress, 2nd session vote number 168.
(For the lazy, http://senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=110&session=2&vote=00168).
Today Congress voted on amendments to FISA which include the unconstitutional granting of retroactive immunity to common carriers (telecom companies) who participated in President (G.W.) Bush's illegal wiretapping program.
I would like to extend my personal thanks and sincere respect to Sen. Clinton and Sen. Schumer, both of whom voted Nay.
I would like to extend a warm bucket of spit to Sen. Obama, who by his affirmative vote has earned my contempt and deepest loathing. A candidate who promises change is a wonderful thing, however this is ABSOLUTELY NOT the kind of change our country needs. Flagrantly disregarding our constitution and giving free passes to companies which have disregarded our laws and the most basic principles of privacy both implied in our constitution and expressly stated in both that document and numerous Supreme Court decisions is unpardonable, and I am now decidedly against Sen. Obama having any further political power - I urge you all to cast your votes for a more worthy candidate, and hope that in their wisdom the good people of Illinois will see fit to remove Sen. Obama from his office at the earliest opportunity.
Oh, and lest Sen. McCain believe that he is off the hook by not voting - a crime of inaction is still a crime. You are no better than Sen. Obama and the others who voted to pass this travesty.
Make no mistake about it folks, our congress has flagrantly violated our constitution (Article I, Section IX -
The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person. The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it. No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed. No capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken. No Tax or Duty shall be laid on Articles exported from any State. No Preference shall be given by any Regulation of Commerce or Revenue to the Ports of one State over those of another: nor shall Vessels bound to, or from, one State, be obliged to enter, clear, or pay Duties in another. No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time. No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State.(Emphasis mine) Every single member voting to pass this measure has violated their oath of office, and is guilty at the very least of willfully and knowingly attempting to subvert the Constitution of the United States. All 69 such members should be IMMEDIATELY IMPEACHED and called to stand trial before the 28 members who correctly voted to uphold and defend our nation's highest laws. My position on the 3 non-voting members (McCain, Sessions & Kennedy)? Let 'em stand with the rest of the traitors.
