You can’t make up how stupid the Obama people think the rest of us are when they pull stunts like this
Obama administration: Toss wiretap lawsuit
By DEVLIN BARRETT (AP) – 2 days ago
WASHINGTON — Attorney General Eric Holder says a lawsuit in San Francisco over warrantless wiretapping threatens to expose ongoing intelligence work and must be thrown out.
In making the argument, the Obama administration agreed with the Bush administration's position on the case but insists it came to the decision differently. A civil liberties group criticized the move Friday as a retreat from promises President Barack Obama made as a candidate.
Holder's effort to stop the lawsuit marks the first time the administration has tried to invoke the state secrets privilege under a new policy it launched last month designed to make such a legal argument more difficult.
Under the state secrets privilege, the government can have a lawsuit dismissed if hearing the case would jeopardize national security.
Bush was an evil Hitler-like emperor that should be impeached for believing this stuff, but Obama and his crew are still lily white because they did the same things but for a different reason! :yikes:
When the Bush people declared this stuff would hurt national security they were full of it. Obama’s people on the other hand have legit reasons! :rolleyes:
