  on Donald Trump Thinks The Extradition Process Is Too Slow, Suggests Just Killing Edward Snowden
  Has anyone even figured out what to charge Snowden with?
  How can you charge someone with a crime when we don't even know what crime he committed other than to let us all in on a massive government spying program that they've kept under the radar for years?
  Have you heard anyone in the media speak out, on behalf of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution, that the NSA trampled all over?
  We're all focusing on Snowden and forgetting the government just overstepped its bounds, on a massive scale.
  This should be the real story.
  -------------------------------
  The Fourth Amendment (Amendment IV) to the United States Constitution is the part of the Bill of Rights which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures, along with requiring any warrant to be judicially sanctioned and supported by probable cause. It was adopted as a response to the abuse of the writ of assistance, which is a type of general search warrant, in the American Revolution. Search and seizure (including arrest) should be limited in scope according to specific information supplied to the issuing court, usually by a law enforcement officer, who has sworn by it. The Fourth Amendment applies to the states by way of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

  Yes. Benjamin Franklin was the only one to sign all four documents that created our Republic: The Declaration of Independence (1776); The Treaty of Alliance, Amity and Commerce with France (1778); The Treaty of Peace between England, France and the United States (1782); and the Constitution (1787); he also wrote parts of the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution.

  Actually I think it's the other way around, the tyrants are firmly entrenched in Washington, D.C.
  
  Up until someone can convince me, show me without a shadow of a doubt, that Snowden committed an unpardonable and heinous act, what he has just uncovered) in my book, is an act of patriotism and heroism and it took a hell of a lot of courage to do it.

  You actually think Snowden would receive a fair trial in the U.S.? I think he's done all of us a big favor by staying out of their cross hairs. And I firmly believe that Snowden wouldn't even be alive to make it to trial. Someone would definitely see to that.

  I Used to Like Donald Trump

  Thanks for your website and a well-written article. During the Cold War and before, no one questioned their government, government could do no wrong, wave the flag, don't question, just accept what they tell you, etc. But today, something has changed. We have people who are siding with Snowden (as opposed to the government) and concluding that what he did was right. Why would this be so? I can't put my finger on it but I believe a new awareness, an awakening is taking place. The shackles and blinders are falling of. The putrid, stinking slime that are government deception and lies that have been ongoing for years are finally being exposed. People are taking sides and the numbers are frightening especially when they conflict with the lame excuses coming from the government regarding why this massive spy program PRISM was created in the first place. I used to like Donald Trump and respected him. But after the remarks he made regarding Snowden, no more. What drove Snowden to release this information in the first place? How was he able to access it? Did he have any idea how much peril he would be putting himself in? And what other data does he still have that has not been made public? These are still questions that beg answers but at the present time, I believe Snowden is someone to be heralded as coming forward, exposing the most massive spying operation on the American people ever. Then they say that it is all for our benefit as it was put into place, after 9-11, to catch terrorists. Okay, then, answer this question...How is it that we will not secure and protect our southern border? The Constitution mandates that our borders be secured by our military, in order to protect the American people. We have Mexican drug cartels in bed with Hezbollah who are freely traveling back and forth. And the government continues to look the other way. Instead, they paint the ones raising the alarm as the bad guy and ignore the real enemy right in our own backyard. And how can we call ourselves free men and women when we learn about what's been going on behind our backs, by our own government? Time to take the country back.
