FISA Amendment Passes, Lefties Go Nuts

Fri, Jun 20, 2008 at 10:08:36 am PDT

The House has passed an amendment immunizing telecommunications companies against lawsuits based on their participation in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), and the Daily Kos Kidz are having a gigantic meltdown: Daily Kos: BREAKING: House Dems suck off Repugs. Again.

UPDATE at 6/20/08 10:19:42 am:

It’s just a bad day all around for moonbats. The Iraq war funding bill also sailed through the House.

That popping sound you hear is millions of moonbat heads exploding.

re: #9 ninjadan

FISA - the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Act, enables the government to use national intelligence means to gather intel on all manner of sources, including communications coming into the US from foreign countries. The telecoms were helping out, and ACLU and others filed suit to stop it. An amendment was offered up to give them immunity, and that's held up passage. The version passed provides immunity of a sort - since the AG's office can basically say that the telecoms were acting under authorization of the President for the period involved.

All this stems from the fact that the FISA courts didn't operate as efficiently as necessary to allow intel gathering in an efficient and timely manner post 9/11.

This really is a glimpse into the Lefty mind set.

It is that thinking that leads them to conclude that we should destroy our nukes , while defending terrorist states like Iran going nuclear.

It's important to note that there are provisions in the bill that actually make it harder to gather intelligence. For example, A FISA warrant is now needed to wiretap Americans who are overseas. (That's why it's a compromise, not a suck-off KosKidz.)

Echelon is a system used by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) to intercept and process international communications passing via communications satellites. It is one part of a global surveillance systems that is now over 50 years old. Other parts of the same system intercept messages from the Internet, from undersea cables, from radio transmissions, from secret equipment installed inside embassies, or use orbiting satellites to monitor signals anywhere on the earth's surface. The system includes stations run by Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, in addition to those operated by the United States. Although some Australian and British stations do the same job as America's Echelon sites, they are not necessarily called "Echelon" stations. But they all form part of the same integrated global network using the same equipment and methods to extract information and intelligence illicitly from millions of messages every day, all over the world.

(a) Requirement for Certification-

`(1) IN GENERAL- Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no civil action may lie or be maintained in a Federal or State court against any person for providing assistance to an element of the intelligence community, and shall be promptly dismissed, if the Attorney General certifies to the court that--

`(A) any assistance by that person was provided pursuant to an order of the court established under section 103(a) directing such assistance;

`(B) any assistance by that person was provided pursuant to a certification in writing under section 2511(2)(a)(ii)(B) or 2709(b) of title 18, United States Code;

`(C) any assistance by that person was provided pursuant to a directive under sections 102(a)(4), 105B(e), as in effect on the day before the date of the enactment of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008, or 703(h) directing such assistance; or

`(D) the person did not provide the alleged assistance.

`(2) REVIEW- A certification made pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be subject to review by a court for abuse of discretion.

The deal is that it's a political tactic in order to raise awareness on things that's not relevant at all. But right now, the democrat's have been trying to exploit people's "anger" at the telecoms for allowing it until they're in the clear to finally shut down the frivolous lawsuits.

My liberal co-workers are convinced that this sort of thing (along with the Patriot Act) is really some sort of police-state tactic by Herr Bush to stop all personal freedoms, which I suppose includes the freedom to talk to terrorists.

Liberals say such disgusting things, they don't want the government to hear how much they really do hate America - hence the fear of surveillance.

I have to disagree with your premise. I do not like the "authorities" snooping around me either, for privacy reasons, and because it is a violation of my rights, and a reduction of my freedom. The Funding Fathers would probably all be in prison within a year in the current societal situation. Make no mistake, they would be labeled as nuts' rebels, and agitators and hauled off to prison because they would not stand for the government usurping the rights of it's citizens like the government has for the last 50 years. Do you really think the Constitution gives the government the power to tell you what light bulbs you can use. Do you think the government has the authority to define thought crimes and prosecute people for what they decide they might be thinking?

A worthwhile read here....
Putting Obama and the Dems on the Defensive

It really is a win for the Bush Administration, and a loss for the Democrats, including Barack Obama. The Dems have been screaming for years about this illegal domestic spying program -- this bill puts the lie to that theme. It acknowledges that FISA warrants were never before required for eavesdropping suspects overseas, but that with new systems that routes world-wide communications through the United States, it was time to allow for FISA to be updated to reflect the realities of the latest technologies.

The government will be allowed, in circumstances that dictate it, immediate authority to commence wiretaps as long as they notify the FISA Court within 7 days. The Court would then have 30 days to approve a warrant, during which time the surveillance can continue. The FISA bill also offers retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies who assisted the federal government post-9/11. The current lawsuits by liberal groups will be allowed to go forward, but will be dismissed upon the production of evidence that the companies were complying with the request of the federal government and the President.

Hold on there, folks. The Wall Street Journal indicates that the FISA bill is a good news/bad news scenario. The bill dilutes the Presidency by requiring ALL "overseas eavesdropping orders to require advance approval by a special FISA court of rotating judges." There is an "urgent threat" exclusion that would still require subsequent FISA court approval. So, our safety is in the hands of appointed judges with little skin in the game and no chance of retribution for poor decisions. Might I suggest congress.org for a little heart-to-heart with one's elected officials.

Additionally, you should all be aware I shook hands and had a photo op with the Newt-ster last week in a neighboring but no less backwards and brutal, fly-over [red] state.

I think this is common sense, to immunize private telecoms from lawsuit from a government / law enforcement "mandated" 'spying' and trying to get information to keep the country safe.

I really don't understand why KOS and the liberals are so up in arms about it.

Do they appreciate the threat we face from 'terrorists' or 'insurgents' as MSM call them?

I was on Human Rights Commission when we had the discussion whether the Patriot Act was being passed and whether there was an infringement of human rights and privacy.

I understood the nature of nature of eavesdropping to get information to prevent disaster like what we faced from 9-11.

The question I asked, could the Patriot Act be used against 'conservatives' if in the future the national political center moved to the left. What if being 'Christian' or 'practicing Jews' were criminalized and thus the Patriot Act could be used to find underground Christians or Jews?

This scenario is not that farfetched...seeing that Obama has criticized 'right wing Christians' several times in the past...and if he took over...

Consider this, Democrats even talked about nationalizing oil refineries!

I live in L.A. Grew up surrounded by moonbats (see my brief bio). I can't believe anyone would (in their right minds) actually believe or fall for any of that bs. But they do.

Which is why I truly believe that the more Obama speaks out, the more people will actually hear that he is not what we need. I love the Koslings for the cute way they reveal their insanity, too. I think America will repudiate the left if given the chance. And it will also repudiate the Buchanan quasi-Nazism, in due time.

You're right. Ironically, Ryan pled for the press not to do this to anyone else, and opposed efforts to unseal John Kerry's divorce records during the 2004 presidential campaign.

I'm glad he did. It shows that, regardless of his unique ... ahem ... drives, he has honor. I didn't want to know anything about Kerry's divorce records. That's private business and another person's privacy is very much involved as well.

It was his military records I wanted to know about. Come to think of it, I still do.

Isn't it fascinating that the press was obsessed with opening a Republican's personal records and they couldn't be bothered with asking about the military records (documents of importance when considering a Commander in Chief IMO) of a Democrat?

Fortunately it's more difficult for a kook far lefty legislator (or a kook far righty, either) to be elected - and once even most moderates are elected, they want to keep their jobs, so vote comparably sanely, as these votes today prove.

Thank the Lord the American electorate is still hiring.

But this is also the very reason the left has its eyes on the Courts, where matters go out of The People's hands...

(BTW, methinks LGF needs Kook-of-the-Month (KOTM) elections - or at least, Kook-of-the-Year (KOTY). There are just so many moonbats deserving this traditional honor.)

Why I Voted 'No' On FISA

The FISA bill we considered today would compromise the constitutionally guaranteed rights that make America a beacon of hope around the world.

Today's vote was not easy. I stood up to leaders of my own party and voted against this bill, because I took an oath to defend Americans and our Constitution, and it was the right thing to do.

That duty is most important when it is most difficult. We can protect our nation while upholding our values, but unfortunately, this bill falls short.

It's this kind of post-modernist upside down logic of the left that proves to me Baruch is dangerous for Israel.

When he says he is fully committed to Israel's security, that it is the most important thing, he'll make the arguement that by cutting the country in half, splitting J-m and giving up the strategic Golon Heights (the only reason Syria doesn't attack Israel) for "peace" is the best thing for Israel's security.

Baruch went to Pakistan for two weeks and has a "foreign" name.

That makes him more qualified to understand the world and world events.

Hell, I'm not going to get anything done today.

[Link: austinbay.net...]

Obama still touts his pull-out — sort of, occasionally, okay, less occasionally. Obama, like his cohort of supporters, is politically committed to defeat. Obama will now rely on rhetoric to assauge the DailyKos-crowd and obscure his shift on Iraq. He will change his position– and Samantha Power prepared the way several months ago in her ill-fated BBC interview this past spring. Obama thinks he can get away with it: he just backed out of public financing.

The NY Times on the deal before the vote. And Fox.

The real rubes in this election won’t be the rural Midwesterners Obama slandered, the ones who cling to their guns and religon. It will be the gray-haired profs with ponytails, clinging to their cannabis and liturgy of defeat.

That there's some funny stuff. Cause it has that whiff of truth so important to good comedy.

Confidence in Congress at record low

Only 12 percent of Americans now have confidence in Congress, the lowest percentage in the 35 years that the Gallup Poll has tracked the number.

Americans now view Congress less favorably any of the 14 other American institutions tracked by Gallup, including big business, newspapers and health maintenance organizations.

Even as President Bush’s approval rating languishes at a record low, more than twice as many Americans have confidence in the presidency — 26 percent — than have confidence in Congress.

You are 100% correct. As a law I think this is a bad one. However, they are already doing it without it being on the books, this just gives it the "it's legal" aspect. First time someone in the US is charged using it, it will go to SCOTUS and be declared unconstitutional I suspect.

To say that you trust the government's intentions and that you don't mind them sifting through your business is, in my view, the absolute pinnacle of foolishness. What makes people think governments abuse these laws, as they ALWAYS DO? Why, the foolish peoples consent, of course. The Jewish people in pre WWII Germany didn't have anything to hide either. Did that keep them from the death camps? The damn government has its own best interests at heart, not yours. The government will ALWAYS seek more power and control, thats what it does. Compare your freedoms with the freedoms enjoyed by your grandfather. Hell, you can't even own a copy of any book that involves explosives anymore. My father used to go down and buy dynamite at the hardware store to blow rocks out of the ground, try to go down and buy some now. We now have "hate crimes". What is that other than a thought crime? People should look around and note that this isn't the United States their parents grew up in. Whether I need something or not is not the government's damn business, its my business. What I think is my business, not the affair of some damn government agency. I'm an AMERICAN, not an Englishman with a surveillance camera on every corner, or a Frenchman who cannot read the real news because the government censors it. That is becoming an increasingly meaningless term, and I am appalled at the number of people who move like sheep to the government's direction. The Founding Fathers would be appalled also.

Yah Hippie, I ain't going to Fremont for love or money with that crazyness going on. I *will* however make a trek to Port Gamble (WA for you out of staters) this weekend to see the Civil War re-enactors. Should be fun.

I did not say I trust the government. What's the solution, lock ourselves up in a well provisioned cave, bury our money in the backyard, weave our own cloth and grow our own crops?Lot of bad guys out there, I am not one of them sir/madam.

I never meant to sound accusatory toward yourself. Sorry if I did. I just get pissed off when I hear all of the silliness about "I don't care if they listen in on my business". What is the solution? As far as it goes there is NO REAL SOLUTION! There will always be bad guys, and you cannot stop them all, just slow them up some. Shall we surrender our business and our freedoms for our security and the sake of political correctness? Why are little old ladies being searched at the airports? Why do young women in almost nothing sandals required to take their shoes off prior to getting through airport security? Thats just harassment for the sake of political correctness. Its bullshit. If you isolate who is the enemy, and confront them where they live, kill them without worrying about what the French will think, they won't be around to hijack airplanes. Identify the enemy and eliminate them. Thats ALL YOU CAN DO, unless you think you can buy security with your freedom, which is whats going on right now. I say there is a price for a free society. That price is some crime, some terrorism, some poverty, some mental illness. The freedom to succeed is the freedom to fail. We let the leftists indoctrinate our children in a mentality of victim-hood, and class warfare. They control the entire educational system. Its mostly unionized, and I can assure you, the education of your children is not high on the unions list of concerns. I cannot tell you what is the best solution, but I can tell you selling out our freedoms and growing the government is not the solution, unless you wish to end up in the hive. America has never been perfect, but trying to make it perfect will be it's destruction.

People think Carnivore just went away. I remember seeing it mentioned during the Clinton years. And then all of a sudden, no one was talking about it any more.

I have no issues with them listening in if I'm calling suspected terrorists. AFAIK, I haven't been talking to any lately.

maddogg, I sympathize with you on this but this is no longer about some crazed jihadists who just might hijack some planes. This is now about crazed jihadists who would just love to sneak a suitcase nuke aboard an Amtrak bound for Baltimore. Or maybe just a few dozen vials of some highly toxic nasty stuff. I agree that harassing grannies at the airport gate has gone too far but the world is now giving us crazies that want to put a mushroom cloud over a city that could be close to you. What do we do? Wait until it happens THEN react? Do you realize where liberties will go once marshal law is declared because thousands are dying on the streets of a city?

Bottom line, isn't there some way we can preserve freedoms yet not have to worry so much about Ahmed and his Suitcase Nuke?

The choices in this are unpleasant either way. I am not willing to sacrifice all my liberties for absolute safety but there's not much liberty in being a pile of ash.

You and I did not invent Islam nor Nazism or any other of the isms that crawl up people's butts and die there -- but we have the unfortunate luck of having to live on the same planet with people who are willing to die for some of these isms for the simple pleasure of taking as many of us with them as possible.

I don't trust government any further than I can throw it but I trust Islamists even less.

re: #427 PrairieWind

Lets say, for the sake of argument, that our government was more interested in fighting terrorists than politically correct bullshit. Can we rule out some people for suspicion? Can we do a little common sense profiling? Do we have any idea about what religion these jihadists might be. Do we have any idea what parts of the world spawn them? Maybe we don't have to let people from this religion and those parts of the world in without extra special caution and investigation. Maybe we could thouroughly investigate the examples of this religion and culture already here. Maybe we aren't obligated to let them in here at all. Maybe we could control the borders and control who crosses them. How many of the 9-11 terrorists were from Dallas? Maybe we could put American interests ahead of all the interests of people from third world hell holes .

Maybe, we could apply just a little common sense and preserve the rights that are our birth right as Americans. Rights our forbearers died to obtain, died to preserve. Maybe we could do this rather than piss them away through our fear of offending some damn third world hell hole or our fear of the scum they spawn. Don't you think?

If Obama is half the consummate liar that David Brooks thinks he is:

[Link: www.nytimes.com...]

then one rather expects that behind the scenes Obama is probably asking for this to be passed. Indeed, should Obama get elected, duplicity is the only hope for this country for the next four years.

I'm reminded of Peggy Noonan's piece a few years back wherein she noted that a lot of GOP grandees think their base is a little dumb, but the Dems think their base is just outright crazy.

What's the old parable about the stream through the village being poisoned; if you don't drink it you die, if you drink it you go crazy? Thatks kinda where the more sentient members of the Democratic Party find themselves right now.

face it libs, your leaders sold you out cause they got bought. You better vet your politicians a little better. In the future make sure your guys can't be bought with money, sex, drugs or tv time. Then maybe you can get all of those great grass-root feminists, ecoists and socialists on the national ticket for all the nation to choose.

I have already written my congresscritters about this nonsense.

This is nothing more than the left trying to steal from us, the American taxpayer.

It is not the governments business what I buy on eBay.
