• FEDERAL JUDGE DAVID HAMILTON

  • From: sgin_NV
  • Description:

    David Hamilton is a hard Left, former ACORN fund-raiser and abortion radical who was rated “not qualified” by the ABA.

    Now, via LifeNews, he is federal judge:

    The Senate voted today 59-39 to confirm a pro-abortion federal judge President Barack Obama appointed to become a new appeals court justice. David Hamilton, of Indiana, is the first pro-abortion judge Obama selected, but he was held up for months because of his extreme views.

    With less than 60 votes, the Senate could have defeated the nomination had lawmakers voted Tuesday to sustain the filibuster pro-life advocates launched against Hamilton.

    The vote saw all but one Republican, Indiana Sen. Dick Lugar, who is nominally pro-life, vote against Hamilton while all Democrats supported his nomination except two who were not present for the vote.

    However, the cloture vote saw no Democrats joining the 29 pro-life Republicans who supported it and a defection of some of the more liberal Republicans in the caucus.

    Americans United for Life president Charmaine Yoest said Hamilton should have been defeated because “judges should uphold Constitutional restrictions on abortion.”

    “As a District Court judge, Hamilton promoted his radical pro-abortion agenda. His promotion to the Seventh Circuit” is a “serious concern to the pro-life community,” she told LifeNews.com.

    Hamilton was tapped by Obama in March to fill a vacancy on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

    As he promised he would do, pro-life Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama led the filibuster and said Hamilton should be opposed in part because of his pro-abortion views.

    Sessions noted how Hamilton kept an informed consent measure from being enforced in Indiana, thereby prohibiting women from getting information about abortion’s risks and alternatives so they can find positive alternatives.

    “And for seven years, through a series of rulings, Hamilton kept it form being enforced. This case is a blatant example of allowing personal views to frustrate the will of the people and the popularly elected representatives of the government of Indiana,” Sessions said. “This appeared to me to be obstructionism.”

    Sen. Jim DeMint, a pro-life senator from South Carolina, agreed.

    “Judge Hamilton is the definition of an activist judge and is clearly not qualified to sit on a court of appeals,” DeMint said during the debate. “Hamilton, who spent years working with the ACLU and ACORN, has used his position on the bench to drive his personal political agenda.”

    The pro-life group Susan B. Anthony List objected to Hamilton and said it worries about future Obama nominees.

    “If Judge David Hamilton is considered a blueprint for the next judge President Obama will nominate for the U.S. Supreme Court, America is in trouble,” Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the organization, told LifeNews.com.

• Pinellas County Public Records

  • From: AntonieLivingston
  • Description:

    Pinellas county public records offers a wealth of information about documents that falls under public domain such as birth, death, marriage, and divorce details. They contain other information such as criminal cases, traffic offenses and violations, and tax details among many others. Considering that these files are already in the public domain; hence, they can be accessed for free at various sources.
    
    One of the best ways to get your desired documents is to visit the office of the county service center which is situated along 2431 Tampa road somewhere in palm Harbor. They usually maintain complete database of documents such as the ones mentioned above. You may also call them at their phone number (727) 4643000 and make the request for your desired papers which they will send to your given address.
    
    Another method is to go online and visit the official web site of the locality you are currently located. In order to get there, just type in the keywords at Google or Yahoo search engines and look for the official site of the State. This will bring you to the place where you can gain free access to huge information about the locality including the aforementioned documents. In most cases, some of the information is limited and if you want more details, you can always use the services of third party commercial companies where they also maintain complete and updated information regarding your search.
    
    However, such access may require minimal service fee considering the fact that the companies also incur various expenses in the retrieval of files and updating their database; apart from their operational expenses in maintaining the site. Hence, be prepared to shell out some few bucks if you want to get more detailed information; but the benefits of the comprehensive results from your investigation or seek out is worth the investment made.
    
    In any case, it all depends on you; if you can already find the information you want at Pinellas county public records through their site, then much better because you incur no expenses at all; otherwise, you always have the second option.

    Run your free public records now to find records like birth and death, marriage and divorce filings, criminal law, county public records, phone number, address and more.

• Tolerance and Compassion

  • From: ExciteM
  • Description:

    It seems like the so called liberal ideology of "tolerance and compassion" is anything but.

    I saw a post yesterday on an "unnamed blogsite" that has a picture of female anatomy "photoshopped" on Sarah's face, and labelling her with the "C" word. Is that tolerance and compassion? Or is the liberal "feel good" agenda only one them and their sheeple?

    Let's take a look, shall we?

    The liberals are supposedly the party of female championing and womens rights. One would think they would be ecstatic about a self made woman who has a wonderful family (issues and all), a full-time career, and who is handling it all in a dignified manner. But no, they tear her down, call her names, and look for new ways to continue their hateful assault on her (just read the Newsweek article, look at their cover).

    When Bill Clinton was being accused of rape by several women. The liberal N.O.W. and media came out in defense of these women, correct? Absolutely not. They tore the accusers apart as well, even calling one of them "trailer trash". Of course, they were all about supporting Anita Hill when she falsely accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harrassment. So, just by these few examples I would have to say the left is about supporting their far left wing agenda, rather than women's rights.

    Let's look at race shall we? I already mentioned the Clarence Thomas ordeal, but there is more. They called him "Uncle Tom" because he did not speak like them, was educated, and was more conservative than they liked. Just like they tore down Michael Steele when he was running for Governor of Maryland and Ken Blackwell in Ohio. They even went so far as to illegaly obtain Steele's credit report and make it public. Yes they called them "Uncle Tom" as well. Who does the left hold as heroes of the black race? Liberals like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright, and Louis Farrahkan. Interesting. So, one could again make the case that liberals are not for black people making a better life for themselves, but rather pushing the liberal agenda tolerance, compassion, and "dependence".

    Looking further at the media, when Obama was running for president, an unknown man approached Obama on the campaign trail and asked him about income and taxes. Obama, in one of his many gaffes when he is speaking without his teleprompter, admitted he was for spreading wealth. The media decided to check that out, right? Once again, no. They dug into Joe "The Plumber's" background, and villified him in the press (it ultimately made him even more popular with the general populace). What about 11 AP reporters "fact checking" Sarah Palin's book, which I am sure they did with Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope, (as well as Clinton's and Gore's) correct? Nope, they let little facts like Obama (Ayers) writing "The white mans greed runs a world in need" and "siding with the Muslims" slide. Or what about his long standing relationship with radicals like William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, Tony Rezko, and his radical "black power" Pastor Wright. They checked those connections out during the campaign, correct? No, but they did send throngs of reporters to Alaska to dig up dirt on Sarah Palin. Again, it is the press supporting the far left agenda.

    So happy Sarah and black moderate/conservative denegrating, you intolerant, hating liberals. Try as you will, you will not break them. Come to think of it do your job well and you'll see the country rally behind them to a great extent than they have now. We moderates and conservative outnumber you by a lot.

• If God Was Truly Holy

  • From: MeBubbleHead
  • Description:

    I take the definition of holy to the max! It is everything you'll find in a dictionary, pious, irreproachable, sacred, free of sin, pure in heart. godly, etc.  To me it is intelligence that has reached a plateau above all the rest, perfection of life, flawlessly superior morals and all the virtues wrapped up in one.  If God, who I know isn't the creator of the infinite universe was truly holy he would stop the insanity immediately. God is an astornaut king, a Wizard of OzEarth, who may be very generous to the earth munchkins that live in the delusional fantasy of creation by whatever force of mental suggestion that afflicts them, but he is far from being God.   The unwillingness to interact with human life here directly is suspiciously a reminder that God was born of evolution on some other planet.  Whatever trials and tribulationshe has seen and visited is evidence that we must accept whatever meager handout is our due. "Mny are called but few are chosen, wide are the gates to death and destruction and narrow is the path to eternal life."Mtthew 22-14/ 7-13, a testament that not everybody born will find eternal life.  God is a human! WE may be living on the planet of the Truman Show, where each and everyone of us is being watched by high tech,and that includes your every thought and action, by near invisible rods that circle the earth continuosly using computers and transmitters to instantly send your thoughts to Gods home planet, where we are some kind of super Tv reality show.  As religion is important to them the show may be interactive, explaining why miracles happen to us somtimes. Perhaps the people on his planet have to pay for miracles here.  The worse case scenario is they created us as a supplament for reincarnation on their home planet.  As you should know reincarnation is a form of cannabilism and God the FAther may be a interglactic animal rights activist.  He's gone so far as to breed with us to show the people of his planet that those he chooses will not be eaten. " And an angel called to all the fowl in heaven, come now let us feast upon  the flesh of kings and  kings captains and kings horses". Revelations  Can you imagine being invited to rip Obamas soul up and eat from it?  Have a Nice Day

• CHANGING THE SUBJECT: WHY O NI

    CHANGING THE SUBJECT: WHY O NIXED FT. HOOD PROBE
    
    By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN
    
    Published in the New York Post on November 16, 2009
    
    As he flew to Asia on Saturday, President Obama told the media in Alaska that he opposes a congressional investigation into the Fort Hood massacre, saying that we must "resist the temptation to turn this tragic event into political theater." Yet, even as he was posturing against political theatrics, he had just decided that the prosecution of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed would proceed on the greatest of public stages -- New York City.
    
    With the strict evidentiary rules in force in federal civilian courts, it is easy to see how the prosecution of Mohammed could morph into an indictment of the Bush administration's interrogation techniques and waterboarding. As in rape trials, the magnitude of the underlying crime (masterminding the 9/11 attacks) might well be lost as the defense puts the victim (in this case, the government) on trial.
    
    It is not political theater itself to which Obama objects -- but theater that highlights issues that liberals would rather forget. He is quite content to let the Mohammed trial become the theater of the left. Perhaps even eager.
    
    Obama and his handlers know that the key to building favorable ratings is to control the agenda. And the more the national discussion centers on national security and terrorism, the more Republicans gain. So the Fort Hood terror attack comes at an awful time for an administration trying to turn the nation's attention away from the terrorist threat.
    
    As soon as the killing spree was over, Obama hastened to call it "an act of violence" -- obscuring the obvious fact that it was the most serious terror attack on US soil since 9/11. And, as evidence mounts that the FBI was on to Major Nidal Malik Hasan for years, the president is doing his best to stop Congress from finding out why these warnings went unheeded.
    
    Even as Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.), the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee confirmed that the government knew of 10 to 20 e-mails between Hasan and a radical imam in Yemen -- who was urging the killing of American troops -- starting last December, Obama hastened to urge Congress to refrain from investigating why the danger signs were ignored.
    
    The Obama administration has a clear agenda here:
    
    1) Stop people from focusing in how his administration permitted the worst domestic terror attack in eight years.
    
    2) Avoid a national airing of how liberal policies -- restraints on the intelligence community, political correctness in the armed forces -- might have inhibited the military from reining in Hasan.
    
    3) Re-ignite a firestorm on the left and abroad against the aggressive anti-terror policies of the Bush administration.
    
    Making all this particularly important for Obama are his other political needs.
    
    As he likely decides to send more troops to Afghanistan and eyes abandoning the "public option" to secure Senate passage of his health-care plan, Obama has to rebuild his credibility on the left. A public circus that focuses on waterboarding and interrogations could be just what he wants and needs.

• Our country deserves better

  • From: dlindberg102
  • Description:

    Am I so out of step with the majority in this country? Why is it that every time I turn on the TV or pick up a newspaper I find myself getting angry? This week I couldn’t believe that our illustrious Attorney General, Eric Holder was there on Television telling us that they were bringing our sworn enemies to New York for a civilian trial. Where in our Constitution does it say we have to give our legal rights to our enemies? In my mind I am asking who benefits from this stupidity, the families of the victims, the fire fighters who lost their brethren, the police and port authority who still hear the screams of the dying in their sleep. How about us, the general public who witnessed planes full of everyday people crashing into the buildings, or the bodies of innocent office workers hurling themselves out of the twin towers to keep from burning alive. None of the above is the answer in case you wondered. There is one answer that comes to mind but I can’t even fathom anyone could be so callous, It’s been stated that Attorney General Holders former law firm, the one that he will surely return to when this country finally regains its senses, represents several terrorists already. Could this be a motive? Are they that arrogant that they would even consider this?
    
    
    
    
    Are we so intimidated by European opinion that it is really necessary that we close Gitmo? We have been so smothered in political correctness that it is affecting our ability to survive as a world power. Who has earned the right to judge our system of government? What part of Europe didn’t we save from tyranny? What would China be today if we hadn’t stopped the Japanese in WWII? How have our enemies treated our captives, from WWII through Korea, Viet Nam, or in The Middle East? The people held in Guantanamo have it better than they did in their own countries. I call them people only because I am so influenced by political correctness that I find it hard to call them what they really are. In our history we have always been the savior of the world not the bad guy. This administration seems to be of the belief that we have a lot to apologize for. Even though I didn’t vote for him I actually thought that after Obama was sworn in, he would see the world for what it really is and temper his agenda for the good of America. I was wrong, his agenda seems to be to destroy the America we grew up in and remake it into a socialist society. To accomplish this goal he has to break the spirit of our people and render them impotent to his will. He has surrounded himself with a group of people who actually despise our country. Socialist, Communist and some of the loudest voices against American freedom are entrenched in his cabinet and his army of Czars.
    
    
    
    In history we learn what is in our future, if you bother to read the history of Germany and the Soviet Union you will see where we are headed. When the President goes to Copenhagen and signs the treaty on Global Warming, we as a sovereign nation will cease to exist. When we give others the right to make and enforce our laws we will have fought all wars, and left all our battle fields littered with our dead for nothing. America will no longer be the shinning city on the hill that so many have held in reverence. The United States that has been the benefactor to the world deserves better. Shout and shout loud, make these egotistical, narcissists hear your demands. Let them know that this is our land, and we’ll defend it with all we have.

• Protest NYC Terrorist Trial

  • From: RightAway
  • Description:

    It is clear to me that the Usurper in Chief, and his conflict of interest driven Attorney General are hell bent in bringing down the foundations of our great country. This trial is a slap in the face to fine citizens of NYC and the friends and family who lost loved ones on 9/11.

    There is a site you can visit: www.thebravest.com . The site is supported by the NYFD, and memorializes those brave men and women who lost their lives trying to save others that historic and horrific day.

    On this site you can add you name to the long list in a letter of protest to Obama, the letter is as follows:

    President Barack Obama

    The White House

    1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW

    Washington, D.C. 20500

    Dear President Obama:

    On September 11, 2001, the entire world watched as 19 men hijacked four commercial airliners, attacking passengers and killing crew members, and then turned the fully-fueled planes into missiles, flying them into the World Trade Center twin towers, the Pentagon and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.  3,000 of our fellow human beings died in two hours.  The nation's commercial aviation system ground to a halt.  Lower Manhattan was turned into a war zone, shutting down the New York Stock Exchange for days and causing tens of thousands of residents and workers to be displaced.  In nine months, an estimated 50,000 rescue and recovery workers willingly exposed themselves to toxic conditions to dig out the ravaged remains of their fellow citizens buried in 1.8 million tons of twisted steel and concrete. 

    The American people were rightly outraged by this act of war.  Whether the cause was retribution or simple recognition of our common humanity, the words "Never Forget" were invoked in tearful or angry rectitude, defiantly written in the dust of Ground Zero or humbly penned on makeshift memorials erected all across the land.  The country was united in its determination that these acts should not go unmarked and unpunished. 

    Eight long years have passed since that dark and terrible day.  Sadly, some have forgotten the promises we made to those whose lives were taken in such a cruel and vicious manner.

    We have not forgotten.  We are the husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers and other family members of the victims of these depraved and barbaric attacks, and we feel a profound obligation to ensure that justice is done on their behalf.   It is incomprehensible to us that members of the United States Congress would propose that the same men who today refer to the murder of our loved ones as a "blessed day" and who targeted the United States Capitol for the same  kind of destruction that was wrought in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania, should be the beneficiaries of a social compact of which they are not a part, do not recognize, and which they seek to destroy: the United States Constitution.  

    We adamantly oppose prosecuting the 9/11 conspirators in Article III courts, which would provide them with the very rights that may make it possible for them to escape the justice which they so richly deserve.  We believe that military commissions, which have a long and honorable history in this country dating back to the Revolutionary War, are the appropriate legal forum for the individuals who declared war on America.  With utter disdain for all norms of decency and humanity, and in defiance of the laws of warfare accepted by all civilized nations, these individuals targeted tens of thousands of civilian non-combatants, brutally killing 3,000 men, women and children, injuring thousands more, and terrorizing millions.

    It is morally offensive to offer Constitutional protections to individuals charged with murdering 3,000 individuals, in essence, to jeopardize justice for war crimes victims, in order to make an appeal to the Muslim world.   The use of Article III courts after the 1993 World Trade Center attack didn't stop any of the subsequent terrorist plots, including the attack on Khobar Towers, 19 Americans killed, the 1998 East African Embassy bombing, 212 killed, the USS Cole bombing, 17 sailors killed.  The attacks of 9/11 were a resounding rebuke to the view that federal courts were an appropriate counterterrorism strategy.  Afterward, we didn't send law enforcement personnel to apprehend the perpetrators, we sent the United States military, who captured them and held them pursuant to the 2001 Authorization of the Use of Military Force (AUMF).

    The American people do not support the use of our cherished federal courts as a stage by the  "mastermind of 9/11" and his co-conspirators to condemn this nation and rally their fellow terrorists  the world over.   As one New York City police detective, who lost 60 fellow officers on 9/11, told members of the Department of Justice's Detainee Policy Task Force at a meeting last June, "You people are out of touch.  You need to hear the locker room conversations of the people who patrol your streets and fight your wars."   

    On May 21, you stated that military commissions, promulgated by congressional legislation and recently reformed with even greater protections for defendants, are a legal and appropriate forum to try individuals captured pursuant the 2001 AUMF, passed by Congress in response to the attack on America.  Nevertheless, you announced a new policy requiring that Al-Qaeda terrorists should be tried in Article III courts "whenever feasible." 

    We strongly object to the creation of a two-tier system of justice for terrorists in which those  responsible for the death of thousands on 9/11 will be treated as common criminals and afforded the kind of platinum due process accorded American citizens, yet members of Al Qaeda who aspire to kill Americans but who do not yet have blood on their hands, will be treated as war criminals.  To date, you have offered no explanation or justification for this contradiction, even as you readily acknowledge that the 9/11 conspirators, now designated "unprivileged enemy belligerents," are appropriately accused of war crimes.   We believe that this two-tier system, in which war criminals receive more due process protections than would-be war criminals, will be mocked and rejected in the court of world opinion as an ill-conceived contrivance aimed, not at justice, but at the appearance moral authority.

    The public has a right to know that prosecuting the 9/11 conspirators in federal courts will result in a plethora of legal and procedural problems that will severely limit or even jeopardize the successful prosecution of their cases.  Ordinary criminal trials do not allow for the exigencies associated with combatants captured in war, in which evidence is not collected with CSI-type chain-of-custody standards.  None of the 9/11 conspirators were given the Miranda warnings mandated in Article III courts.  Prosecutors contend that the lengthy, self-incriminating tutorials Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and others gave to CIA interrogators about 9/11 and other terrorist operations--called "pivotal for the war against Al-Qaeda" in a recently released, declassified 2005 CIA report--may be excluded in federal trials.   Further, unlike military commissions, all of the 9/11 cases will be vulnerable in federal court to defense motions that their prosecutions violate the Speedy Trial Act.   Indeed, the judge presiding in the case of Ahmed Ghailani, accused of participating in the 1998 bombing of the American Embassy in Kenya, killing 212 people,  has asked for that issue to be briefed by the defense.  Ghailani was indicted in 1998, captured in Pakistan in 2004, and held at Guantanamo Bay until 2009.    

    Additionally, federal rules risk that classified evidence protected in military commissions would be exposed in criminal trials, revealing intelligence sources and methods and compromising foreign partners, who will be unwilling to join with the United States in future secret or covert operations if doing so will risk exposure in the dangerous and hostile communities where they operate.  This poses a clear and present danger to the public.  The safety and security of the American people is the President's highest duty.   

    Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey recently wrote in the Wall Street Journal that "the challenges of terrorism trials are overwhelming."  Mr. Mukasey, formerly a federal judge in the Southern District of New York, presided over the multi-defendant terrorism prosecution of Sheikh Omar Abel Rahman, the cell that attacked the World Trade Center in 1993 and conspired to attack other New York landmarks.  In addition to the evidentiary problems cited above, he expressed concern about courthouse and jail facility security, the need for anonymous jurors to be escorted under armed guard, the enormous costs associated with the use of U.S. marshals  necessarily deployed from other jurisdictions, and the danger to the community which, he says, will become a target for homegrown terrorist sympathizers--like the recent Fort Hood shooter--or embedded Al Qaeda cells.

    Finally, there is the sickening prospect of men like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed being brought to the federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan, or the courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, just a few blocks away from the scene of carnage eight years ago, being given a Constitutionally mandated platform upon which he can mock his victims, exult in the suffering of their families, condemn the judge and his own lawyers, and rally his followers to continue jihad against the men and women of the U.S. military, fighting and dying in the sands of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan on behalf of us all. 

    There is no guarantee that Mr. Mohammed and his co-conspirators will plead guilty, as in the case of Zacarias Moussaoui, whose prosecution nevertheless took four years, and who is currently attempting to recant that plea.   Their attorneys will be given wide latitude to mount a defense that turns the trial into a shameful circus aimed at vilifying agents of the CIA for alleged acts of "torture," casting the American government and our valiant military as a force of evil instead of a force for good in places of the Muslim world where Al Qaeda and the Taliban are waging a brutal war against them and the local populations.   For the families of those who died on September 11, the most obscene aspect of giving Constitutional protections to those who planned the attacks with the intent of inflicting maximum terror on their victims in the last moments of their lives will be the opportunities this affords defense lawyers to cast their clients as victims.    

    Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators are asking to plead guilty, now, before a duly-constituted military commission.   Mr. President, the families of their victims have a right to know, why don't you let them?

    Respectfully submitted,

     

    The list of signatures is endless, and starts with family of one of a passenger of American Flight 77 that flew into the Pentagon.

• Justice Dept. Asked For News S

  • From: zcat
  • Description:

    *Another bully tactic from the White House....idiots!

     

    In a case that raises questions about online journalism and privacy rights, the U.S. Department of Justice sent a formal request to an independent news site ordering it to provide details of all reader visits on a certain day.

    The grand jury subpoena also required the Philadelphia-based Indymedia.us Web site "not to disclose the existence of this request" unless authorized by the Justice Department, a gag order that presents an unusual quandary for any news organization.

    Kristina Clair, a 34-year old Linux administrator living in Philadelphia who provides free server space for Indymedia.us, said she was shocked to receive the Justice Department's subpoena. (The Independent Media Center is a left-of-center amalgamation of journalists and advocates that – according to their principles of unity and mission statement – work toward "promoting social and economic justice" and "social change.")

    The subpoena (PDF) from U.S. Attorney Tim Morrison in Indianapolis demanded "all IP traffic to and from http://www.indymedia.us" on June 25, 2008. It instructed Clair to "include IP addresses, times, and any other identifying information," including e-mail addresses, physical addresses, registered accounts, and Indymedia readers' Social Security Numbers, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, and so on.

    "I didn't think anything we were doing was worthy of any (federal) attention," Clair said in a telephone interview with CBSNews.com on Monday. After talking to other Indymedia volunteers, Clair ended up calling the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco, which represented her at no cost.

    Under long-standing Justice Department guidelines, subpoenas to members of the news media are supposed to receive special treatment. One portion of the guidelines, for instance, says that "no subpoena may be issued to any member of the news media" without "the express authorization of the attorney general" – that would be current attorney general Eric Holder – and subpoenas should be "directed at material information regarding a limited subject matter."

    Still unclear is what criminal investigation U.S. Attorney Morrison was pursuing. Last Friday, a spokeswoman initially promised a response, but Morrison sent e-mail on Monday evening saying: "We have no comment." The Justice Department in Washington, D.C. also declined to respond.

    Kevin Bankston, a senior staff attorney at the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation, replied to the Justice Department on behalf of his client in a February 2009 letter (PDF) outlining what he described as a series of problems with the subpoena, including that it was not personally served, that a judge-issued court order would be required for the full logs, and that Indymedia did not store logs in the first place.

    Morrison replied in a one-sentence letter saying the subpoena had been withdrawn. Around the same time, according to the EFF, the group had a series of discussions with assistant U.S. attorneys in Morrison's office who threatened Clair with possible prosecution for obstruction of justice if she disclosed the existence of the already-withdrawn subpoena -- claiming it "may endanger someone's health" and would have a "human cost."

    Lucy Dalglish, the executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of The Press, said a gag order to a news organization wouldn't stand up in court: "If you get a subpoena and you're a journalist, they can't gag you."

    Dalglish said that a subpoena being issued and withdrawn is not unprecedented. "I have seen any number of these things withdrawn when counsel for someone who is claiming a reporter's privilege says, 'Can you tell me the date you got approval from the attorney general's office'... I'm willing to chalk this up to bad lawyering on the part of the DOJ, or just not thinking."

    Making this investigation more mysterious is that Indymedia.us is an aggregation site, meaning articles that appear on it were published somewhere else first, and there's no hint about what sparked the criminal probe. Clair, the system administrator, says that no IP (Internet Protocol) addresses are recorded for Indymedia.us, and non-IP address logs are kept for a few weeks and then discarded.

    EFF's Bankston wrote a second letter to the government saying that, if it needed to muzzle Indymedia, it should apply for a gag order under the section of federal law that clearly permits such an order to be issued. Bankston's plan: To challenge that law on First Amendment grounds.

    But the Justice Department never replied. "This is the first time we've seen them try to get the IP address of everyone who visited a particular site," Bankston said. "That it was a news organization was an additional troubling fact that implicates First Amendment rights."

    This is not, however, the first time that the Feds have focused on Indymedia -- a Web site whose authors sometimes blur the line between journalism, advocacy, and on-the-streets activism. In 2004, the Justice Department sent a grand jury subpoena asking for information about who posted lists of Republican delegates while urging they be given an unwelcome reception at the party's convention in New York City that year. A Indymedia hosting service in Texas once received a subpoena asking for server logs in relation to an investigation of an attempted murder in Italy.

    Bankston has written a longer description of the exchange of letters with the Justice Department, which he hopes will raise awareness of how others should respond to similar legal demands for Web logs, customer records, and compulsory silence. "Our fear is that this kind of bogus gag order is much more common than one would hope, considering they're legally baseless," Bankston says. "We're telling this story in hopes that more providers will press back and go public when the government demands their silence."

• I Really Have To Wonder Someti

  • From: Meb452m
  • Description:

    I really have to wonder sometimes. I'm well aware of the Constitutional right to a jury trial by you're peers, but should it be due in all cases. I bring this up, in light of recent news with killings, those in FT Hood and Orlando for example. These are certainly not the only examples, just the two most recent.
    
    Is a trail really justified in a clear cut case as to who actually committed the murders ?  In both cases, there is no doubt as to who was the killer. What difference does determining a motive really accomplish ? Why should that play any part in sentencing in cases such as this ? Are you going to tell me to clarify as to wheter it was first,second,or third degree murder ?
    
    I don't believe such cases deserve a trial and I state that in the victims behalf. Because if you've been murdered, death comes in no degrees. Dead is dead, and that's all there is to it.
    
    You want crime to end, you end the criminal !

• Thinking about Caylee

  • From: HOPE
  • Description:

    Caylee Marie Anthony, the one who taught us to love, even, a child we never knew.  The one who showed us how we all need to feel about ourselves, through the eyes of a child, who believed that anything is possible and proved it over and over again.  The one who sang 'You are my Sunshine' and the one who continues to shine her sunshine into the heart of men.  The one that beat the odds through the help of holy spirit and a hero who had a little voice inside of him that refused to let him give up, even after calling the police three times to report what he believed to be a child, a lonely little girl, in the woods among the worst conditions possible... The little girl who was lost, but was found, despite the odds that raged against her.
    
    This is for you, Caylee Marie Anthony; with love and faith, but most of all hope that nothing is impossible through daring to dream, raising our voices, utiilizing our ability to ask for justice in a single voice and a sense of freedom, but most of all, the power of prayer.
    
    This is for you, Caylee, that we might learn from you:

• Will Pelosi's health 'care' fu

  • From: zcat
  • Description:

    Former Kansas state AG cites Sebelius' advocacy for procedures

    A former Kansas state attorney general says the Democrats' health-care proposal is alarming because it allows Health and Human Services

    Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, the former governor of Kansas, to decide when the government should pay for abortions.

     

    "Well, let's take a quick look at what Gov. Sebelius supported in Kansas," wrote former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline in a newsletter on the issues. "Late-term abortions on viable children were performed, for instance, because a prospective mother did not want to hire a babysitter when she attended the concert of her favorite rock band.

    "Another example: a desire to compete in the current rodeo season was sufficient to justify the termination of the life of a perfectly viable unborn child just a few weeks before natural childbirth," he wrote.

    Kline knows the subject: He investigated the late-term abortion corporations operating in Kansas while he was the state's chief law enforcement officer and brought charges. But behind a massive influx of financial support from abortion interests, Kansas elected a pro-abortion AG, replacing Kline, who then became a district attorney and continued his prosecution of abortion-business leader Planned Parenthood.

    The case against Planned Parenthood, however, remains in limbo now, he said, because a pro-abortion judge picked by Sebelius for the state Supreme Court ordered a witness in the case not to testify.
