Senate Votes Down 4th Amendment [HR6304 UPDATE]

[honestmango]

The really horrible trouble with legislation like this is that in order for the Supreme Court to determine the constitutionality of a law like this, somebody has to bring a lawsuit. In order to bring a lawsuit, you have to have legal standing, which is (basically) a beef. You have to show you have been harmed. But with blanket surveillance...nobody even knows when they've been "violated."

[Thorpe741]

Terrific. Does this mean they can confiscate my vote. That's ok though, because if voting changed anything they would make it illegal.

[humboldthammer]

Wow -- you guys are as angry as I am about this crap. I still think America is the best country in the world -- but we definitely need to get the Liars out of power.

How about the Death Penalty for violating the Trust of the American people? How about Capital Punishment for Capital Crimes - like Goldman Sachs or for those who commit crimes in the Capitol?

the whole system is corrupt,

[qweqqweqbt]

fucking liar.  he fucking knows barak obama voted for that shit! it's so obvious that they were all bribed or blackmailed by the bankers yet again.

[dinoman552006]

Hey all you people, lets do something about this shitty amendment to FISA act. write to your congressman and show them what your district wants. oh wait, nevermind. u don't give them enough campaign money like all the other corporations for your voice to be heard. sad, isn't it?

[lakersfan042387]

fuck america. this shit is bullshit. we dont have any rights anymore...thank george bush and barack obama for this shit...

[terrafirma91]

The 4th Amendment, or any of the provisions in the Bill of Rights, can NOT be taken away. That's why they're called INALIENABLE RIGHTS. These are etched in stone. Any government, or elected official, that attempts to abrogate these RIGHTS should be tarred, feathered, and set adrift on a leaky rubber raft.

Nixon explains the bush administration best in his famous quote

"if the president does it it isnt illegal"

all hail president king george III

[jaymanproductions]

soon it will be a police state in the US.

[markyannone]

Learn to recognize unconstitutional, void legislation. Congress and the president have no power to change the Constitution. The Constitution is unchanged and intact.

[akamola]

Free expression of our differences ? More like free violations of human rights !!! I agree that my country is just as fucked as USA, but at least the king is not a fucking hypocrite !!! And after seeing your spiteful comment, i have concluded that you are just as bad as the fascists in the middle east. You wanna kill liberals ? If it wasnt for the liberals, you'd probably be living in a slum by now. You are probably a theocratic goon who is governed by her bible. Go fuck your mom, stupid S.O.B !

[7Prophet7]

well no one says anything except for on forum sites like this. we need to use these to CALL THE POEPLE AND PESTER THE HELL OUT OF THEM AND TELL THEM THEYRE FIRED! THEY CANT DO THAT! BETTER YET, LETS JUST ALL GO UP THERE ON THE WEEKEND AND KICK THEM OUT!

ITS ILLEGAL!

[stonerj0e]

you have to vote for a bill to violate and nullify the 4'th ammendment or you are "soft on terror" ! what kind of shit is this ???

[JimmyPo10]

Congress deserves its 9% rating. It is full of stupid old men who have made a job out of running for office. Throw them all out.

[patriotgoatmam]

I agree with one change...it's full of crafty GREEDY old men who will sell their souls for a buck...and we should throw them out (except a few...like Ron Paul)

[TPOCS]

We actually have a campaign going to FIRE CONGRESS and Fire Congress Meetup groups forming to organize enough voters to do it. Washington You're Fired shows you exactly why you need to join the effort to actually FIRE CONGRESS in the upcoming election. Check it out at FireCongress(dot)org

[stonerj0e]

something else that will NEVER happen... nice wishful thinking though ! :)

[TPOCS]

That's the spirit. No wonder we're going down in flames. You are voicing EXACTLY why this nation is falling. The one thing WE CAN DO, is vote these bastards out of office and you say, it will NEVER happen. Pathetic.

[akamola]

WELCOME TO THE APOCALYPSE OF DEMOCRACY !!!!!! You stupid americans want to spread democracy in the mddle east ???? YOU CAN'T EVEN FUCKING ENFORCE IT IN YOUR OWN COUNTRY !!!!!!!!!!!!

[ancientmariner1984]

We were never meant to be a democracy. We were set up as a Republic. Most Americans don't know or don't care about what the gov't is doing. Soon, it will be too late and martial law will be established in the police state that we have become. Rather than spreading democracy, it should be said spreading an empire. Turn off the TV propaganda bullsh*t and research then do something!!!

[nitzwalsh86]

The difference between a Democrat and a Republican is that the Democratic party has a Reformist liberal faction.

[johndinca]

Great job! Well done! While all of this was going on all you found on corp news was Jesse Jackson BS. The nuts have taken over the asylum.

[jayskyall]

This is why our country is going to shit. No one takes the time to read or do any sort of research... This is complete bullshit.
