Mmm... I don't really agree. No... and yes.

If you look at the charges the article links to, it only specifically charges Franklin and Co. for violating the oath they took.

Rationally, I don't think it could be expanded to encompass the entire population.

Then again, it could easily be interpreted otherwise: judicial activism and whatnot. It wouldn't be the first time a judge attempted to use past precedent to get what they wanted; we even have judges who rely on their own biases to render judgments!

I am not going to respond to the thread yet, but




Is the thread title meant to be a sly Coldplay quote, or is it like that purely from the article?

hahahahahahaha
Bush's Patriot Act can potentially make EVERY AMERICAN a criminal!
hahahahahahaha

Hey... you guys voted him in again.
hahahahahahaha

Wait... are international people who receive broadcasts/news from America also going to be considered criminals? Will we all be banned from entering America because we've received classified information that could potentially be used against America!?
hahahahahahaha

This is too funny!
And sad... the legal system is so far removed from reality it's disgusting.

And it needs to be able to convert into either a submarine, a boat, or a jet. I don't really care which, I just want to be able to cross rivers without messing about with silly things like "bridges" and "ferries"
