Re: Re: Re: Re: can the entire congress now be impeached?
Both those laws are just what we need.
- displayed for 6 month ... It would have prevented FISA, The Patriot Act, and Obamacare. Why did any of them need to be rushed through?
It would also remove a ton of pork from the equation, prevent special interests from slipping things into law, and reign in government abuse.
- Allow the constitutionality of the law to be challenged ... Would rarely be used because everything would have been vetted in the 6 month review period.
That doesn't help with the backlog of currently passed unconstitutional laws that would occur.
- all laws must be put on display for a period of 1/2 year for public comment before it is finalized and put to a vote. (this need extension)
- Allow the constitutionality of any law to be challenged without cause, by anyone. This way you do not need to prove you were personally harmed or affected by it.
This is very short sighted. You remove the middle class with these treaties. Which means they have less money to spend and over time it causes your profits to tank.
It can't be done without being anonymous. That would require a huge encrypted, distributed system, with time delays, and re encryption to hide in the encrypted noise.
- CD ROM or datastick and mail the files from someplace far from home.
- Cheap throw away tablet or laptop bought for cash, new email account, and an open Wi-Fi to do your emailing.
- Torrent file and mail or email to notify people where it is. Adding the info as a zip to a big name movie torrent would keep the info alive for a long time. This way you could dump it months in advance. Leaving the trail cold.
- A wikileaks type site, a throw away laptop, and open wifi.
I wonder if we could get the DOJ to use the CFAA against them if we say this has to do with a copyright claim? We just forget to mention it was a false claim ...
The American internet companies are going to lose far more than the one or two billion US dollars that the defense companies made setting this system up. That in and of itself should be enough to push Google, facebook, twitter, Microsoft, etc to come at them really hard and fast.
"They hype up the FUD about how they need this to stop extraordinarily low probability events like terrorist attacks"
Over a ~thirty year period (1982 to 2012) these are the likelihoods of you dying of something other than terrorism.
heart disease 17,600 times
medical error 5,882 times
car accident 1048 times
falling 404 times
drown 87 times
railway accident 13 times
accidental suffocation in bed 12 times choke to death on your own vomit 9 times
killed by a police officer 8 times
accidental electrocution 8 times
hot weather 6 times
Tim if it isn't in big media, or on the drudge report, they think it doesn't exist, and will have no effect. Todays politicians still believe it was a small group of large internet corporations that caused the SOPA revolt. They can not conceive of a world where newspapers and the talking heads on TV have have lost influence. They are disconnected from the reality of what is occurring.
So that isn't a tip off, it is a joke at Mike Rogers expense.
As noted above, under this program NSA is not currently receiving cell site location data, and has no current plans to do so. The Director of NSA indicated on October 20, 2011 that he would notify Congress of NSA's intent to obtain cell site location data prior to any such plans being put in place.
Two things,
1) He says cell site location data and not GPS data. Which are two totally different things.
2) I am pretty certain he is not being truthful.

I email relatives overseas.
I email a ton of people outside the US without even knowing it. "@gmail.com" does not tell me what nation they are in.
About +25% of the people following me (46,000) on Google + are not US citizens and many comment on my posts.
