No where in the entire Constitution or the Bill of Rights does it say that these rights are limited to the citizens of the United States of America.
While we can't force the constitution or the Bill of Rights onto others, shouldn't we force our government to follow the 4th Amendment as it's written and apply it to everyone?
After all, the Bill of Rights doesn't say what the government can do, it says what the government can NOT do.
Re: Boorish? Are you nuts?! Clinton was the best president we ever had.
In fact, I'll point out that it was Clinton who repealed Glass-Steagle. Sure, he could have vetoed it and it would have passed anyway, but he signed the law that repealed Glass-Steagle, which is why the economy collapsed like it did.
Bush could have done something about it, but he didn't, so he has to take the blame for allowing the economy to get out of control.
Re: Boorish? Are you nuts?! Clinton was the best president we ever had.
Actually, I thought Bill wasn't that great. Sure, the economy in SOME areas of the country flourished, but all I saw growing up was economic depressions, closing schools, shrinking towns, etc.
If you lived on the West Coast or the Northeast during the 90s, the economy was great! Midwest or South or the mountains between the Midwest and West Coast? Yeah, your economy wasn't doing very good.
In fact, other than television, which was pretty good in the 90s, the saying around here is "the 90s sucked, good TV, but nothing else".
After all, there's professional hitmen and professional criminals, so, I'm pretty sure that the people working for the NSA are the very definition of Professional.
Professional what, on the other hand, I don't know.
I, personally, am Anti-Copyright-in-its-current-form.
That is, I can see that Copyright can be useful, but as it stands NOW, no way.
If there can't be a balance reached to put Copyright back into synch with how it should be, that is, not eternal like it is now, then I think it should be eliminated.

But Clinton was the reason it started.

Re: Re: Re: Man...
Anyway, I won't say that Obama started the NSA problems, cuz, as you pointed out, Bush had it going really good by the time he left office.
Obama, on the other hand, has had 6 years now, to fix the problem and hasn't.
