THE OPPRESSIVE OBOMINATION

First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Fourth Amendment: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

EXCERPT: “Google and an alliance of privacy groups have come to Yahoo's aid by helping the Web portal fend off a broad request from the U.S. Department of Justice for e-mail messages, CNET has learned. In a brief filed Tuesday afternoon, the coalition says a search warrant signed by a judge is necessary before the FBI or other police agencies can read the contents of Yahoo Mail messages--a position that puts those companies directly at odds with the Obama administration. Yahoo has been quietly fighting prosecutors' requests in front of a federal judge in Colorado, with many documents filed under seal. Tuesday's brief from Google and the other groups’ aims to buttress Yahoo's position by saying users who store their e-mail in the cloud enjoy a reasonable expectation of privacy that is protected by the U.S. Constitution. "Society expects and relies on the privacy of e-mail messages just as it relies on the privacy of the telephone system," the friend-of-the-court brief says. "Indeed, the largest e-mail services are popular precisely because they offer users huge amounts of computer disk space in the Internet 'cloud' within which users can warehouse their e-mails for perpetual storage." The coalition also includes the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Center for Democracy and Technology, the Progress and Freedom Foundation, the Computer and Communications Industry Association, and TRUSTe. For its part, the Justice Department has taken a legalistic approach: a 17-page brief it filed last month acknowledges that federal law requires search warrants for messages in "electronic storage" that are less than 181 days old.”

Here is what one of Obama’s minions, Assistant U.S. Attorney Pegeen Rhyne, wrote:

"Previously opened e-mail is not in 'electronic storage. This court should therefore require Yahoo to comply with the order and produce the specified communications in the targeted accounts."

3 Dec 2009, U.S. Magistrate Judge Craig Shaffer of Colorado ordered Yahoo to hand to prosecutors certain records including the contents of e-mail messages. “Yahoo divulged some of the data but refused to turn over e-mail that had been previously viewed, accessed, or downloaded and was less than 181 days old.”

Previously opened e-mail is not in, as Rhyne puts it, “electronic storage.” Really? Let’s examine that nugget of Obummer-like thinking, or is it the Eric “Ratface” Holder-Obummer’s minion type of thinking.

Say you receive a letter from a friend that discusses stuff that you would not rather than the government knew about. That’s your decision and your GOD given rights under both the First and Fourth Amendment. You read the letter, fold it back up, and set it on the coffee table. It’s opened, you’ve read it, but it is still not protected from illegal search and seizure? If the cops come into your house twenty minutes later for another reason, can they take that letter off of your coffee table and use it against you? No. It’s a private communication and must be obtained with a search warrant that specifically points out what the police are looking for. We do not live in the Soviet Union, although Obummer and his radical Marxists wish we did, we live in the United States of America where the Constitution is the Law of the Land. 

Indeed, the Judge Shaffer was wrong to order that because it is little more than an around OUR GOD GIVEN RIGHT under the Fourth Amendment! The police simply cannot obtain access to a server and start seizing and accessing e-mails without prior notice to the account holder and that means getting a search warrant. The exception would be an email from or to a known terrorist or terrorist group from a person residing here. Then FISA would kick in where the email could be read BUT STILL, a warrant must be obtained at a later date but within a reasonable time limit. 

Remember back a few weeks when Eric “ratface” Holder’s DOJ prosecutors actually TOLD a federal appeals court that Americans enjoy no reasonable expectation of privacy in their mobile device and that no search warrant is needed to access location logs? So if the Gunny has a few letters on his person, and he’s mobile, out running errands, those letters are not protected under the 1st and 4th Amendments? Wrong answer Ratface. Eric Holder should stick to doing pro bono work for GITMO detainees, he’s a washout where he’s at now but as one of Obummer’s minions, he’s a key player in letting a tyrannical government run roughshod over us.

The one word description of the goal of this regime:

Tyr-an-ny 

1. oppressive power. “every form of tyranny over the mind of man.” Thomas Jefferson; especially : oppressive power exerted by government, i.e., “the tyranny of a police state.”
2. a government in which absolute power is vested in a single ruler. The administration of a tyrant.

What the Gunny finds odd is that it is common sense (he knows libs lack it but REALLY Obummer, tell your minions to get with it) here clearly shows that WE OWN OUR emails because they are protected as "Intellectual Property" and are copywrite protected by default. It is only voided if you are performed it as a work for your job, a consultancy, etc. For the US Govt to mess with our email is a violation of personal property laws under Federal law! But then again, we all know that this regime could care less about federal law, hell, these pukes can’t even pay their damn taxes and never get punished when caught! Nancy Pelosi’s vineyard, for example, uses illegal aliens for labor, was caught on hidden camera, and nothing was done. Dianne Feinstein directed military contracts to her husband's companies and nothing was done. 

In a related incident, Mark Eckenwiler, a senior attorney in the criminal division of the Justice Department stated in Philadelphia, “The government is not required to use a warrant when it uses a tracking device. There is no constitutional bar to acquiring routine business records held by a communications service provider.”

So Mark, who donated 500.00 to Obummer’s campaign, sees no constitutional problem with obtaining records from cellular providers that can track the whereabouts of handheld and mobile devices. What this amounts to is a warrantless tracking of your location. Passive surveillance. Say the Gunny attends a meeting of the Second Amendment militia and Obummer’s myrmidons can track the Gunny passively through his cell phone, the government can use that information to a bad end. It is as though we had a law enforcement tail monitoring our every move, as if we were all criminals!

The DOJ under Ol Ratface is dead wrong on this issue. If the Gunny is driving down a public road, what he has in his backpack is not fair game for public knowledge. If he is having a discussion with another person in that car, our conversation is not public knowledge. Thus, the whereabouts of my cell phone is not public information. The intent of the 4th amendment is clear as a bell in that the people have a right to privacy and a protection against unreasonable search and seizure. When Mark the Minion mewled that: "There is no constitutional bar to acquiring routine business records," does this mean that the Gunny’s bank accounts are routine business records? How about what he buys at Wal-Mart? What he donates to the NRA? Those are all routine business transactions but they are not government business unless there is probable cause that the Gunny is up to nefarious activities. What if the government can force your cell phone provider to access your cell phone in order to turn on the microphone in order to listen in on your conversation? It’s coming over the public airwaves is it not? Should it be publicized? No. Should the government be able to do this without a search warrant? Hell no.

Ben Franklin said it best: “They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.” Thus the pattern for the Obomination is clear. First, Ratface’s DOJ secures the ability to track our locations through our cell phone. Second, they can do an end-run around the Constitution and track our online activities without warrants. Then, they can monitor your activities, look at the data resident on our electronic devices, and in all reality, conduct random searches of private residents, without a warrant, effectively nullifying the Fourth Amendment. Never forget that Democrat Woodrow Wilson JAILED people who spoke out against his regime in regards to WW1, FDR slapped American citizens into concentration camps merely for being Americans of Japanese descent (but ignored Americans of Italian and German descent), and some famous liberal quotes are worth reviewing here:

"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society." [Hillary Clinton, 1993] Now Obummer's SuckState.

"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans ..." [President Bill Clinton, 'USA Today' March 11, 1993: Page 2A]

“My first priority will be to reinstate the assault weapons ban as soon as I take office. Within 90 days, we will go back after kitchen table dealers, and work to end the gun show and internet sales loopholes. In the first year, I intend to work with Congress on a national no carry law, 1 gun a month purchase limits, and bans on all semi-automatic guns." Barack Obama, VPC Fund Raiser, 2007

"The Department of Homeland Security assesses that right-wing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to exploit their skills and knowledge derived from military training and combat. These skills and knowledge have the potential to boost the capabilities of right-wing extremists including lone wolves or small terrorist cells to carry out violence. The willingness of a small percentage of military personnel to join right-wing extremist groups during the 1990s because they were disgruntled, disillusioned or suffering from the psychological effects of war is being replicated today." Janet Napolitano

But what the libs want us to do was outlined quite well in Dosteovsky’s, “The Grand Inquisitor,” "In the end they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us, 'Make us your slaves, but feed us.’”

This regime’s goal is to bypass the Constitution in any way, shape, or form.

“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” Thomas Jefferson.
