Protest in front of the Supreme Court. Don't protest in front of a judge's house. That way lies madness and violence.
Think one step ahead: You want crazies to show up at Justice Sotomayor's house?
Sorry to all my followers for not being as deranged as you thought I was

It's odd that the media has become liberal darlings, because during the W years, they were despised. We didn't see them as "enemies of the people," but rather as spineless sell-outs who endlessly disappointed us. The blogosphere was the alternative where we felt heard.
Take the New York Times. The Times sold the Iraq war based on the flimsiest of evidence. The Times wasn't keeping fascism at bay. The Times helped get us into the Iraq debacle.
During the absurd "Mission Accomplished" stunt, Chris Matthews rhapsodized about our Chad president. "The president there -- look at this guy! We're watching him. He looks like he flew the plane. ... He looks for real. He didn't fight in a war, but he looks like he does." Image

FISA is so confusing b/c 50 USC 1801 uses many similar parameters to determine whether a FISA warrant is needed: (1) communication location (any end in US?); (2) target identity (US person?); (3) target location (US?); (4) acquisition location (US?); (5) media (wire/radio) 2/
Then there is Sec 702 that permits warrantless collections, but requires annual certifications. 702 depends on (1) target identity; (2) target location. How can we possibly have a public debate about these issues when the law is so confusing? 3/
