Why Does This District Court Judge Hate Our Freedom?

NEW YORK - A federal judge struck down parts of the revised USA Patriot Act on Thursday, saying investigators must have a court's approval before they can order Internet providers to turn over records without telling customers.

U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero said the government orders must be subject to meaningful judicial review and that the recently rewritten Patriot Act "offends the fundamental constitutional principles of checks and balances and separation of powers."

Just watch, by tonight, thugs from the National Security Agency, Department of Homeland Surveillance and the White House will have slipped bamboo shoots under the fingernails of this judge who put the constitution ahead of efforts to protect 'merika from non-existent threats.

And why does the judge hate our freedom? Well, he was appointed by Bill Clinton so he obviously puts the constitution ahead of Republic Party talking points. So its natural that he hates our freedom.

Whats most freightening however is that more than 70 percent of the judges in this country have been appointed by Repugnicans. Pray that the remaining 30 percent have strong hearts - at least until Al Gore takes office on January 20, 2009.
