Impunity


Well, fan-freaking-tastic. An appeals court today ruled that the lawsuit challenging Bush's constitutionally illegal spying program must be dismissed in a 2-1 decision based on narrow technical grounds. Essentially, the plaintiffs didn't have the 'standing' to bring the suit.

Which apparently means, no one has the standing to bring a lawsuit? Is Bush free to violate the Surveillance Act with impunity?

You and I are free to be wire-tapped with no accountability by those who we the people elect to govern? All the fireworks set off in my neighborhood a few nights ago are a symbol of how we threw off an oppressive government. We have to stay vigilant folks, lest we the people are someday forced to throw off a new, home-grown oppressive government.
