Gay Marriage Amendment Getting a Presidential Push (Conservative groups underwhelmed at this)

WASHINGTON — The campaign against gay marriage is scheduled to get the full White House treatment on Monday — words from President Bush in front of assembled VIPs and a bank of television cameras. Such a carefully staged production aims to confer the grandeur of the office on the push for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage. But even before administration officials announced the event, some invitees denounced it as a sham. "I'm going to go and hear what he says, but we already know it is a ruse," said Joe Glover, president of the Family Policy Network, which opposes gay marriage. "We're not buying it. We're going to go and watch the dog-and-pony show, ...
Invoking Secrets Privilege Becomes a More Popular Legal Tactic by U.S.

WASHINGTON, June 3 — Facing a wave of litigation challenging its eavesdropping at home and its handling of terror suspects abroad, the Bush administration is increasingly turning to a legal tactic that swiftly torpedoes most lawsuits: the state secrets privilege. In recent weeks alone, officials have used the privilege to win the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by a German man who was abducted and held in Afghanistan for five months and to ask the courts to throw out three legal challenges to the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance program. But civil liberties groups and some scholars say the privilege claim, in which the government says any discussion of a lawsuit's ...

"At War" with DHS, GOP Homeland Security Chair Implies Dirty Dealings In Shirlington Deal By Justin Rood - June 3, 2006, 10:35 AM That Shirlington Limousine story isn't over. On Thursday, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee went on Hardball and gave it to the Homeland Security Department with both barrels -- first for cutting preparedness funding to New York, and then for making what he thinks may be a corrupt deal with the Shirlington Limo company. "[T]here’s issues we’re looking into as to whether or not other companies were asked not to bid" on the $21 million contract, said Rep. Peter King (R-NY). The contract ultimately went to ...
The “few bad apples” alibi in business, military and political crimes

The “few bad apples” alibi in business, military and political crimes Al-Jazeerah, June 3, 2006 It has become part of our day-to-day lexicon… something as American as apple pie. Whatever happens of an unpleasant or nefarious nature, it must have been caused or created by a “few bad apples.” We get to hear it – or read it – with multiplier frequency these days because of the high profile cases being witnessed involving the worlds of big business, politics and the military. Now that the judicial system has closed the chapter on Enron, with Lay and Skilling soon to be behind bars (well… maybe), Americans are being made to feel at ease knowing that ...

June 3, 2006 -- WMR can report that a Mayflower Hotel staffer has confirmed that First Lady Laura Bush spent at least one night this past week at the hotel, which is four blocks north of the White House. Mrs. Bush reportedly moved out of the White House after a confrontation with President Bush over his on-going affair with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The Mayflower's official position on the story is that they can "neither confirm nor deny" the identities of their guests. Because it's penchant for security and secrecy is well known to the Secret Service, the Mayflower has become a reliable hotel for U.S. and international VIPs. Some Washington observers believe that the ...

Data Stored on 3 Million Americans Brimming with the genetic patterns of more than 3 million Americans, the nation's databank of DNA "fingerprints" is growing by more than 80,000 people every month, giving police an unprecedented crime-fighting tool but prompting warnings that the expansion threatens constitutional privacy protections. With little public debate, state and federal rules for cataloging DNA have broadened in recent years to include not only violent felons, as was originally the case, but also perpetrators of minor crimes and even people who have been arrested but not convicted. Now some in law enforcement are calling for a national registry of every American's DNA ...

George W. Bush/King George III The American democracy that was once exemplary to the world is now under siege by a power-hungry president with an insatiable lust for global dominance. For more than five years, George W. Bush has continuously violated the law of the land by ignoring the Constitution, by rewriting laws passed by Congress with his signing statements, and by issuing more than 200 executive orders as new directives for fine-tuning the government to suit his policies. The United States is now facing a regime change — from democracy to autocracy. Incidentally, the last monarch of England to rule the American colonies was also named George. Known as the mad King George III, ...

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Big Brother is not only watching but he is also reading your e-mail. According to a new study, about a third of big companies in the United States and Britain hire employees to read and analyze outbound e-mail as they seek to guard against legal, financial or regulatory risk. More than a third of U.S. companies surveyed also said their business was hurt by the exposure of sensitive or embarrassing information in the past 12 months, according to the annual study from a company specializing in protecting corporate e-mail at large businesses.

Online Privacy Again at IssueThe government asks Internet firms to keep records longer to track terrorists and child pornographers. But some fear misuse. By Joseph Menn Times Staff Writer June 2, 2006 SAN FRANCISCO — Big Internet and telephone companies are girding to fight an unprecedented call by the Bush administration for them to keep detailed records of customers' online activities for two years. The request by Atty. Gen. Alberto R. Gonzales and FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III would dramatically expand the government's ability to track what people do online and with whom they communicate. It follows disclosure this year that the Justice Department had solicited potentially ...

Robert Kosilek, now known as Michelle, is shown in court in 1993. (AP file) Not satisfied with his taxpayer-funded female hormones and laser hair removal, a convicted killer-turned-transsexual is again asking the state to pony up to complete his transformation into a woman. Robert Kosilek, who is serving life in prison for strangling his wife, was back in federal court yesterday, again demanding that the state Department of Correction pay for his sex-change operation. A similar bid was denied in 2002, and his latest attempt has infuriated Lt. Gov. Kerry Healey. “I strongly oppose using taxpayer dollars to fund a sex-change operation for any prisoner, but especially a convicted ...
Bush to Promote a Constitutional Amendment Banning Gay Marriage at Rose Garden Event
Post Date: 2006-06-01 19:44:43 by Brian S

WASHINGTON - President Bush will promote a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, a cause dear to his conservative backers, at a Rose Garden event Monday, the eve of a scheduled Senate vote on the issue. The amendment would prohibit states from recognizing same-sex marriages. To become law, the proposal would need two-thirds support in the Senate and House, and then be ratified by at least 38 state legislatures. It stands little chance of passing the 100-member Senate, where proponents are struggling to get even 50 votes. Several Republicans oppose the measure, and so far only one Democrat Sen. Ben Nelson of Nebraska says he will vote for it. The Senate Judiciary Committee ...

North American Union Already Starting to Replace USA by Jerome R. Corsi Posted May 30, 2006 In March 2005 at their summit meeting in Waco, Tex., President Bush, President Fox and Prime Minister Martin issued a joint statement announced the creation of the “Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America” (SPP). The creation of this new agreement was never submitted to Congress for debate and decision. Instead, the U.S. Department of Commerce merely created a new division under the same title to implement working groups to advance a North American Union working agenda in a wide range of areas, including: manufactured goods, movement of goods, energy, environment, e-commerce, ...

Supreme Court Rules No Whistleblower Protections

WASHINGTON -- A divided Supreme Court said yesterday that free-speech rights do not shield government employees -- even proclaimed whistleblowers reporting wrongdoing -- from punishment for comments made on the job. "When public employees make statements pursuant to their official duties, the employees are not speaking as citizens" protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution, the court ruled in a 5-4 vote. Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., the high court's newest jurist, cast the tie-breaking vote for the majority that said government employers "need a significant degree of control over their employees' words and actions; without it, there would be little chance for ...

Conspiracy Theory and the National Question by Robert Locke Like most sane people, I have generally regarded conspiracy theory as an intellectual rat-hole that distracts from the real issues. But I have recently been forced to the conclusion that it is an encrustation of fantasy around real truths that cannot safely be ignored. I’m not about to tell you Martians shot Kennedy, so hear me out. To reach the bedrock of truth under conspiracy theory, one must dig away layers of nonsense and clarify some confused questions of political philosophy. But eventually, truths emerge without which it is impossible to understand the recent history of this country and the ongoing efforts to betray ...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The attorney general and the FBI director have asked the nation's leading Internet service companies to keep a variety of customer information and other data for two years, much longer than the companies do now, the Justice Department confirmed Tuesday. Companies have varying policies regarding what information is kept and for how long. One thing the Justice Department wants is some type of subscriber information, such as the Internet address assigned to a person when logging on to a service provider, according to two sources familiar with a meeting that was held last week between the government and the Internet companies.
