- groverblue, on 10/18/2008, -1/+63As soon as I have extra money I'm going to donate to EFF.
- algaeturd, on 10/19/2008, -4/+46EFF tells court that telecom spying is unconstitutional, Court tells EFF to ***** off and mind own business. Also reminds them that the ACLU told court the exact same thing 2 years ago and again the court told them to ***** off.
- AnitraWeb, on 10/20/2008, -1/+36The most promising note in this: "[Judge] Walker, a libertarian-leaning Republican appointee, has so far not been sympathetic to the government, ruling early on that the suits could continue despite the government's claim that the suits would put the nation at risk."
- Drahkar, on 10/20/2008, -0/+25The ACLU didn't bother to collect all the data that the EFF did. The EFF is extremely thorough and doesn't toss around litigation unless it has sound base to work from.
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 10/20/2008, -0/+20Sorry about this, but a "permission slip" from the Executive Branch does not give any corporation to violate Constitutional guarantees. Nor does an Unconstitutional Law passed by the Legislative Branch (under duress no less). This was all just a stalling tactic in the hopes that the Republicunts would stay in power. They won't be.
So, challenge the Congressional "law" as Unconstitutional. Vacate it. Then go after the telecos, who will then turn on the then ex-White House criminals and traitors. - kaelyiesta, on 10/20/2008, -3/+23"the Democratically-controlled Congress gave in[...]"
*****. They didn't 'give in', they were complicit. Stop with this fantastical belief that one side or the other is less culpable. These ***** are largely in it for themselves. Democrat, republican or whatever. The sooner we realize that and start focusing on individual politicians instead of party lines the sooner we can start ridding ourselves of these leeches that want to usurp even more control. - inactive, on 10/20/2008, -0/+18we should get some cheep phone service from China, at least then there won't be any question of their spying
- keithloughnane, on 10/20/2008, -0/+16EFF, will you marry me?
- zackattak, on 10/20/2008, -1/+10What is the breaking point? I have been asking myself this a lot recently. At what time in our past has human kind been pushed too far and exercised their right to revolution. I am not trying to be dramatic but something has got to give.
- inactive, on 10/20/2008, -2/+8well of course
the lawsuits only put the criminals in charge at risk - nevetssav, on 10/20/2008, -1/+7A jury of your pears: http://www.worldcommunitycookbook.org/season/guide ...
- WWJeffersonDo, on 10/20/2008, -0/+6My thoughts (although worded better) exactly.
Telecoms should be held accountable for their actions.
Pointing the finger at the government in a "they made us do it" position is not acceptable. Who's serving who here? - faded242, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5Where? "there pears"! over there.
- patburke1980, on 10/20/2008, -0/+5I want to believe.
- Gemfinder, on 10/20/2008, -1/+6Pears? Where?
I thought American citizens were tried by a jury of their pineapples. - Kral, on 10/20/2008, -0/+4http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a12/taylor_158/lo ...
- Fubeman, on 10/20/2008, -0/+4And this me friends is why I am a PROUD member of the EFF.
- corourke, on 10/20/2008, -0/+3The democratically controlled congress doesn't currently have enough votes to bypass a veto nor stop a filibuster. Your good friends in the GOP have used the filibuster 13 times more this year than ever before. Not sure why LilRabbit got dugg down unless of course the McCainiacs are in full force trying anything to make their candidate look plausible.
- danthepiercer, on 10/20/2008, -0/+3your stupidity is astonishing...and this is digg, so thats really saying a lot!
- h3lx, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2This is the most beautiful thing I've seen today. This is that bright yellow kernel of corn floating in the sea of excrement.
- owenblacker, on 10/22/2008, -0/+2Good piece and dug up but how is this *World* news?
- Arcueid01, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2Yeah guys, thank our rights for the EFF and the ACLU. I mean if not for them who would be protecting our rights? I mean no one is going to run out and file a lawsuit. We all need to donate money to them so they can continue their efforts.
- aletoledo, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2What a slap in the face to Obama! I wonder if this case goes into 2009 if he'll try to squash it?
- Gemfinder, on 10/22/2008, -0/+2No, silly, that's a wolf!
- BlacklabelSAR, on 10/21/2008, -0/+2I've been wondering that for at least 2 years. I think it's that people have never been so comfortable and complacent, until now.
Suddenly now people are waking up and becoming curious about what exactly a debt-based economy is and who it benefits. The less comfort, the more motivation. If people start to get hungry, a lot of government officials will be moving out of the country, just like last time. - shrinivas23, on 10/20/2008, -2/+3hey just get lost
- BlacklabelSAR, on 10/21/2008, -1/+2Teach 14 year olds about the Constitution, and then put this issue in front of them. They'll get it right too.
- Psalms83, on 10/21/2008, -1/+2http://digg.com/world_news/al_Qaida_Global_Firebal ...
- Nintendesert, on 10/20/2008, -1/+2The Constitution doesn't protect you from corporations, it only protects you from the Federal government. And now only through court decisions protects us from State governments too.
- gkiltz, on 10/20/2008, -1/+1Someone had to say it: The EFF is someone! Sooner or later, some court at some level will agree!
- iamthearm, on 10/20/2008, -3/+1Let me know when the court agrees
- inactive, on 10/20/2008, -6/+2Suck It, Court Tells EFF
- LilRabbitFooFoo, on 10/20/2008, -8/+4Please do yourself a favor and learn something about the current make-up of our congress and how things are working right now before you go off on some rant that only goes to show your ignorance.
- Troyjinman, on 10/20/2008, -8/+3/sigh
- shrinivas23, on 10/20/2008, -7/+2ugiuuiog
- saurabharya, on 10/20/2008, -8/+2Even Amnesty is not safe.......what else.. world bank????
- inactive, on 10/19/2008, -13/+3am I missing the boat?
did someone get convicted in a court of law "by a jury of there pears"
is a "JUDGE" just a lyer that won a popularity contest ,,,,,and some one is to pus to go in front of a jury? - beerwench, on 10/20/2008, -14/+3buried for having the most awkwardly phrased headline ever. its misleading and sensational.. ***** wired.
