In reply to the discussion: He signed it. We’ll fight it. {ACLU} [View all]newspeak
(4,847 posts)by vetoing the bill and publicly stating that in good conscience he could not sign it because of our american principles, the bill of rights, the constitution; he would have earned major points with the plebes.
The illegal wiretapping, creating homeland security (mega taxpayer bucks), the patriot act; were never needed. We had security BEFORE 9/11, we had FBI agents attempting to give heads up to those at the top, we had an august PDB report and warnings from other countries that there was something in the works. By not reacting to those warnings, now we have intel corporations making mega bucks in the government, we have traded our civil rights for security costing us billions. One huge fubar money making business--making money and controlling the plebes by using our fear.
Oh, and I was against the ACLU for the citizens ruling and told them so, but fully support them in this endeavor.
