205. the libertarians question

Excellent post...
You make the right winged libertarian argument that because we can not trust gov't (Obama) thus we can not trust it with this uncheckable power.
The other side of the same coin is the point that what ever we (Democrats) allow the Obama administration do the next GOP administration (2016?) will also be able to do.

To make a second point about uncheckable gov't power.
Technology, especially these wonderful computers that allow us to work from home, communicate across continents and participate in this forum, as also the greatest constitution shredding device that there is. Everything you are is in a data base some where just waiting. Thus in many potential criminal cases you have already given up your fourth amendment right to be secure in your home from warrant less searches. You've also, De-facto, surrendered you fifth amendment right to be able to avoid testifying against your self. You sixth amendment right to confront your accuser is mute if your accuser is a data base.
