Question by DAR: Constitutionalists, are you interested in Obama’s early actions re: FISA? As compared to his speech?

“From his Speech..

“At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because we, the people, have remained faithful to the ideals of our forebears and true to our founding documents.
So it has been; so it must be with this generation of Americans.”

The fourth Amendment of the Constitution states.

“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”

Last Thursday, the Obama administration requested U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker in the case of Al-Haramain v. Obama (07-cv-109-VRW) (MDL06-cv-1791-VRW) to reverse his decision to bring exculpatory evidence to bear. The latter is a leaked memo from the U.S. Treasury Department which was sent to the plaintiffs’ lawyers. The memo would prove that the plaintiffs were subjected to unlawful eavesdropping.

In a separate filing, the administration’s new Attorney General, Eric Holder, stated his intent to fight the Electronic Frontiers Foundation’s court case to overturn the immunity of Telecoms companies to prosecution over their complicity in illegal wiretapping of American citizens. Obama had voted for this immunity legislation in July, 2008 which included legislation that resulted in the NSA targeting “U.S. journalists, all domestic communications of Americans, including, faxes, phone calls and network traffic.”

The Obama administration clearly does not want any interference in the NSA’s unbridled and unconstitutional surveillance of Americans and is happy to abrogate the Fourth Amendment.

Did you expect this?
Steve, he asked a court to overturn a ruling, that isn’t just waiting to see.
RJ – thanks for that last!
thanks birdie, I bookmarked the last. Did you read this internal leak, though? It is Obama as well, not just Bush. http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2009/01/obama-to-fight.html
