Little Girl Remains Dead!! In other news, President of the United States gets busted for violating the Constitution

While this will interrupt the fun of watching a creepy pedophile act non-chalant, something good happened today.

From CNN:

A federal judge on Thursday ruled that the U.S. government’s warrantless wiretapping program is unconstitutional and ordered it ended immediately.

Now, before you listen to the people who scream “Dear God, how will we ever catch the terrorists! We’re all Doomed!” Keep in mind, that the government can still eavesdrop in situations they deem it necessary. They can still do what’s necessary to gather intelligence and keep the country safe. They can even do it for up to three days before the need to get a warrant. But that’s the thing:

They need a warrant. They need judicial review. The U.S. has three branches of government, the Bush Administration was trying to, and actually did, circumvent this process.

This is the checks and balances portion of the United States government. Keep in mind, if you disagree with this, then you disagree with everything the U.S. is, and stands for. If you disagree with U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor’s decision, then you are Pro-Dictatorship, Anti-Democracy, Anti-Freedom and Anti-American. Period.

Glenn Greenwald has done a lot on this subject, and you would be remiss not to take a look at what he has to say, and the discussions it has created.

The decision is a very good thing, regardless of what Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney or the other cheerleaders for military dictatorship say. Keep that in mind as the personal attacks come raining down on Judge Taylor.

Now, you may go back to the creepy pedophile.
