Federal judge rules 2 Patriot Act provisions unconstitutional Source: CNN Published: July 4, 2008 Author: n/a (CNN) -- A federal court on Wednesday struck down two provisions of the Patriot Act dealing with searches and intelligence gathering, saying they violate the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures with regard to criminal prosecutions. "It is critical that we, as a democratic nation, pay close attention to traditional Fourth Amendment principles," wrote Judge Ann Aiken of the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon in her 44-page decision. "The Fourth Amendment has served this nation well for 220 years, through many other ...
Is The Fourth of July a Ruse For "We The People"?

The 232nd 4th of July celebrations are soon to be over for another year. We might even smirk at our good fortune, but are we really free of them? The research that I have done over the last 15 years continues to show that we have been brought back under British rule. While I thought the reunion began in 1944 with creation of the IMF/World Bank and 1945 with the United Nations, I recently found the charade goes back to 1794. While it appears that we are independent, we are not. My first inkling that something was amiss began when I discovered Prince Charles supported the population reducing environmental philosophy of sustainable development. I found he was a major player behind the scenes ...

Disney Claims Exemption From New Gun Law The Associated Press Published: July 3, 2008 ORLANDO, Fla. - Walt Disney World believes it is exempt from a new state law that allows Florida residents to keep firearms in their vehicles while at work. That's according to an internal memo by Shannon McAleavey, Disney World's vice president of public affairs. Under the new law, businesses cannot prohibit employees or customers from keeping a legally owned gun locked inside their cars, as long as the owner has a permit to carry a concealed weapon. But the bill states that property owned or leased by an employer who has a permit required by federal law to manufacture, use, store or move ...

From colorful hot dog stands and front-porch grilling to car dealerships and fireworks – once again the people celebrate July 4th. The media will join the festivities and will air documentaries about the founding of the country, its struggles during the revolutionary war, the adoption of the Constitution and the various leaders that inspired a country to fight for its freedom. Journalists and pundits shall hold hands and sing their praises to the gods state. The mainstream, hailing from its intellectually void ivory tower will no doubt offer hosannas to our overlords. In the meantime, the message of freedom is nowhere to be seen. Indeed, quite the opposite tends to happen. What ...

Tyranny is a lot like cancer. Early detection is a great thing. Stopping cancer and tyranny in the early stages can prevent a world of hurt, pain and death down the road. In America, we enjoy a measure of freedom. However, we are not nearly as free as we think we are. Our liberty is under assault from multiple directions every day. This assault is not being waged by some dorko in a cave in Afghanistan and his scary brown minions. Rather, it is being waged by our own government. Already, “the land of the free” has the world’s highest incarceration rate. There is so much creeping tyranny and so little time to address it all. And millions of Americans are in total denial.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - As more Americans get sick while health officials look for the cause of a salmonella outbreak sweeping the country, consumer groups said on Thursday the Food and Drug Administration must put emergency rules in place to track the movement of produce. Food safety and consumer groups said traceability would make it easier for officials to track through the supply chain the origin of fruits and vegetables and identify the source of outbreaks of foodborne toxins, such as salmonella or E. coli, preventing more people from getting sick. The Center for Science in the Public Interest and the Consumer Federation of America told reporters an effective tracking plan must follow ...

The owner of YouTube has to turn over user login IDs, records showing when users watched videos, their IP addresses, and numbers that identify the videos. The judge hearing Viacom (VIAB)'s $1 billion copyright-infringement claim against Google has ordered its YouTube unit to provide user histories. Google has to turn over millions of videos it has removed from the video-sharing site, user login IDs, records showing when users watched videos, their IP addresses, and numbers that identify the videos. The order applies not only to videos watched on YouTube but also to videos embedded on third-party Web sites. Google (NSDQ: GOOG) tried to argue that the request, for about 12 TB of data, ...

FORT WORTH — If you insist on drinking and driving this holiday weekend, be prepared to roll up your sleeve. At least 21 Tarrant County law enforcement agencies are participating in a Fourth of July "No Refusal" program that will allow authorities to draw blood from suspected drunken drivers who refuse Breathalyzer tests. "We have a DWI epidemic in this state, and Tarrant County is no exception," prosecutor Richard Alpert said Wednesday at a news conference, where he was flanked by men in blue from the 21 departments. "Our office prosecutes at least 6,000 DWI cases a year, and we are constantly looking for new ways and new legal efforts to aid our law ...

On June 6, Loren A. Smith, senior judge for the United States Court of Federal Claims, issued his final opinion in Hage v. United States, awarding the estates of Wayne and Jean Hage $4.2 million in compensation for physical and regulatory takings, plus 17 years of interest and attorney's fees. ...

Residents of Kirkwood, Mo., gathered Friday night for a prayer vigil across from City Hall. KIRKWOOD, Mo. — The day after a gunman opened fire at City Hall, killing five people before the police fatally shot him, residents of this affluent suburb southwest of St. Louis struggled to come to terms with what they called the unthinkable. And the question on everyone’s mind was: What caused Charles Thornton, a friendly town gadfly known as Cookie, who for years had been a fiery opponent of City Hall, to snap? A contractor who routinely ran afoul of the authorities, Mr. Thornton was well-known and had an openly contentious relationship with the town government, particularly those ...

FBI Chief Criticizes Supreme Court's Gun Ruling By Associated Press June 30, 2008 HARTFORD, Conn. — Last week's landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld a constitutional right to own guns for self-defense and hunting may harm efforts to deter violent crime in communities and college campuses, the FBI Director, Robert Mueller, said today. Speaking at a convention of the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators at Hartford, Mr. Mueller criticized the ruling, which he said "does throw a lot of things up in the air." Last year, a gunman killed 32 people at Virginia Tech in the nation's worst mass shooting in modern history, ...

NEW YORK — A United States appeals court decision upholding the dismissal of a lawsuit from Canadian Maher Arar essentially enables the U.S. government to send foreigners to be tortured, a lawyer with a human rights group representing Arar said Monday. "It means that the U.S. can do to anyone what they did to Maher," said Maria LaHood, a senior attorney with the U.S.-based Center for Constitutional Rights. "They can do it to anyone, to any foreign citizen, and use the immigration process as a guise, basically, to send someone to be tortured." Arar, a Canadian citizen of Syrian birth, was stopped by U.S. officials at JFK Airport in New York City as he returned to ...

WASHINGTON - Bill Hogan was returning home from Germany in February when a customs agent at Washington Dulles International Airport pulled him aside. He could re-enter the country, she told him. But his laptop could not. U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents said he had been chosen for "random inspection of electronic media," and kept his computer for about two weeks, recalled Hogan, 55, a freelance journalist from Falls Church, Va. Though it was a spare computer that had little important information, Hogan felt violated. "It's not an inspection. It's a seizure," he said. "What do they do with it? I assume they just copy everything." -Snip ...

Children's rhyme leads to firing over alleged racial harassment BY JOHN MARZULLI DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Sunday, June 29th 2008, 11:21 PM Eenie, meenie, minie, moe - Here's Donald Cross' tale of woe. The 65-year-old drug counselor was fired by a Long Island town this month after he recited a children's rhyme and offended an African-American co-worker. Cross said he was blindsided by the Town of Babylon's decision to can him for racially motivated harassment. He has filed a complaint with the state Division of Human Rights to win back the job he had held for 15 years.

Jawed Ahmad, a driver and assistant for reporters of a Canadian television network in Afghanistan, knew the roads to avoid, how to get interviews and which stories to pitch. Reporters trusted him, his bosses say. Then, one day about seven months ago, the 22-year-old CTV News contractor vanished. Weeks later, reporters would learn from Ahmad's family that he had been arrested by U.S. troops, locked up in the U.S. military prison at Bagram air base and accused of being an enemy combatant. Lawyers representing Ahmad filed a federal lawsuit early this month challenging his detention on grounds similar to those cited in successful lawsuits on behalf of captives at the U.S. military prison ...

Self-defense is upheld, but control advocates aren't done by a long shot. The Supreme Court's decision in the District of Columbia vs. Heller case settles a long, heated debate, finding the 2nd Amendment protects an individual right to own weapons for self-defense -- not merely a right related to membership in a "well-regulated militia." But the ruling doesn't end the struggle over gun control, nor does it mean gun regulations have been eliminated. The court lists a number of laws the decision does not affect, including concealed-weapon prohibitions and "long-standing prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding ...

The proper purpose of a Grand Jury First, what is a grand jury? - what is its purpose? The purpose of grand juries has been so muddied up that it has become impossible to determine a clear and unambiguous purpose in our time. With the advent of self government, where those persons actually operating the government are subject to bribery and other corruption, a grand jury would be the reasonable means by which the People of the Ujited States would be and are able to hold the government they have created accountable and to keep the government under the control of the People who created the government, as it is all too clear that corruption has so frequently been and is the case in the ...

Repeal the 2nd Amendment No, we don’t suppose that’s going to happen any time soon. But it should. The 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is evidence that, while the founding fathers were brilliant men, they could have used an editor. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. If the founders had limited themselves to the final 14 words, the amendment would have been an unambiguous declaration of the right to possess firearms. But ...
