Do you think that President Bush and his administration are infringing on our Constitutional rights?

Amendment IV


The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.





Why does his administration and him need to know the where abouts and private information of every one? Is it not our constitutional right to be and go freely where ever i feel at any given time, without having to look over my shoulder, wondering if the Government/ Bush is watching my every step? And i know the argument that we/ He needs to be able to know this to protect us, or if i didnt have anything to hide then why should i be conserned. But those are NOT valid enough answers to go unchecked while He thoughs MY rights to the wind!

Definitely, the constitution of this once great country has become a joke, your rights are guaranteed to you only as long as it is convenient.
Reply:President Bush and his Administration are sworn to uphold the Constitution and enforce the laws passed by Congress. That said there are endless law suits including many that must go to the Supreme Court for resolution because not everyone can agree on exactly what the laws permit, especially if there are political gains to be made.
Reply:You know what? I think we should just abolish the intelligence commitee that protects america just because they are trying to make sure terrorists aren't planning another attack by listening in on our private conversations *gasp*, don't be so ignorant.
Reply:I dont believe the Adminsitration is infringing on our constitutional rights. I believe they having been legally doing what is in the best interest of the American public
Reply:Of course they are, but unfortunately many people don't care. NO ONE has explained why the administration discarded the FISA requirement to obtain judicial approval for wiretaps, either before OR AFTER! Conveniently, he and his supporters don't mention that there was no reason to violate FISA because if the wiretaps were valid they would be retroactively approved.


The argument that if you have nothing to hide, you shouldn't be concerned does not wash. If you really believe this, then please push for public disclosure of the administration's decision-making. Why we went to war, who helped write the energy bill, who leaked the Plame identity, etc. I'd also like to allow the IRS to spy on our private business records because only cheaters would have something to hide. I'm sure that you have no objections to bedroom spying either if you are not breaking any laws.


Most of us support the legitimate search for intelligence information, but I certainly do not support the indiscriminate and unmonitored invasion of privacy that violates constitutional protections. Security is not an excuse to trample our rights.
Reply:Yes I do, in the name of terror.
Reply:The president is doing what he thinks is right and I agree there are certain measures needed to protect us unfortunately I beleive they will be people in the law enforcement agencies that will abuse the powers he has given them
Reply:Its getting down to the wire on excessive executive power.


Even the American Bar Association said these warrentless domestic wiretaps are illegal.





The Republicans had better hope they don't lose controll of the House of Representative. I see committees, hearings, investiations and more, much more headed their way.





Don't you just love the two-party system?
Reply:Whoaaaa.. chill out dude. Unless you are a suspected terrorist you have nothing to worry about. The government is LEGALLY allowed under the FISA act of 1978 to wiretap susptected terrorist. If the governement didnt do this (spy on suspected terrorists), it would be irresponsible.
Reply:Yes...I'm not a terrorist but his methods are to combat evil is by being more evil than the evil you're fighting
Reply:yes i do


they suport and beleive in the constitution,


yet it seems they are blind to what it really stands for.


I think he is close minded and ignorant
