Alright all you Bush Haters, Explain this……

The department of justice wants to tap into peoples emails without a warrant or court approval. This invasion of personal privacy is spearheaded by the Obama administration. The same administration that, during the election, claimed the patriot act was unconstitutional and violated people right to privacy. Their premise was that tapping international phone calls without a warrant was unconstitutional.

Obama of course went on to re-sign the patriot act once in office, but that’s just another of those pesky campaign lies that no one will ever talk about. As president, Obama wants to invade your privacy at a whole new level.

Are liberals screaming there outrage? Are they rioting in the streets and breaking FBI windows? No, they support it as a common sense measure. It is unbelievable the double standard for this China-Doll President. He is held to a standard of zero, and everything he does is dismissed or ignored. Obama is not accountable for any action he takes. His Tyranny goes unchecked, and he has already gone much farther than Bush ever dared. Will people respond in anger and protest? Only if they are racist. Because everyone who is against anything Obama does is a racist.
Didn’t you get the memo?

Here is the story.
Google and an alliance of privacy groups have come to Yahoo's aid by helping the Web portal fend off a broad request from the U.S. Department of Justice for e-mail messages, CNET has learned.

In a brief filed Tuesday afternoon, the coalition says a search warrant signed by a judge is necessary before the FBI or other police agencies can read the contents of Yahoo Mail messages--a position that puts those companies directly at odds with the Obama administration.

Yahoo has been quietly fighting prosecutors' requests in front of a federal judge in Colorado, with many documents filed under seal. Tuesday's brief from Google and the other groups aims to buttress Yahoo's position by saying users who store their e-mail in the cloud enjoy a reasonable expectation of privacy that is protected by the U.S. Constitution.

"Society expects and relies on the privacy of e-mail messages just as it relies on the privacy of the telephone system," the friend-of-the-court brief says. "Indeed, the largest e-mail services are popular precisely because they offer users huge amounts of computer disk space in the Internet 'cloud' within which users can warehouse their e-mails for perpetual storage."



For its part, the Justice Department has taken a legalistic approach: a 17-page brief it filed last month acknowledges that federal law requires search warrants for messages in "electronic storage" that are less than 181 days old. But, Assistant U.S. Attorney Pegeen Rhyne writes in a government brief, the Yahoo Mail messages don't meet that definition.

"Previously opened e-mail is not in 'electronic storage,'" Rhyne wrote in a motion filed last month. "This court should therefore require Yahoo to comply with the order and produce the specified communications in the targeted accounts.

On December 3, 2009, U.S. Magistrate Judge Craig Shaffer ordered Yahoo to hand to prosecutors certain records including the contents of e-mail messages. Yahoo divulged some of the data but refused to turn over e-mail that had been previously viewed, accessed, or downloaded and was less than 181 days old.



Privacy only exists in this country for those who support Obama’s policy’s. Any opposition is dangerous, Right-Wing extremism. What a joke. Everyone knows what we need to do to stop terrorism. We need to profile. But, that would be racist, or at least portrayed as such. So we will violate the constitution once again, so that the arm of political correctness will continue to go unchallenged. Heaven forbid anyone question the logic of that….
