[h3] Senate Committee Votes to Authorize Warrentless Wiretapping
[/h3]The Senate Judiciary Committee approved a bill that [a href="vny!://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,71778-0.html?tw=wn_index_1"]not only authorizes, but extends, US warrentless wiretapping[/a]. No accountability. No oversight. No definition of 'terrorist.' No record of who voted for what. Great way to devolve a democratic republic into a fascist theocracy. Me worried? Yea.
Here is the text of [a href="vny!://blog.wired.com/27BStroke6/s2453.pdf"]SB2453, the National Security Surveillance Act[/a] (PDF). Confusingly, the committee also voted out two other bills, one of which "all but declares the warrantless wiretapping illegal," according to Wired.
Yeah it got out of committe. To make Christianity the offical religion of Missouri also got out of the Senate Committe here but will it pass? No. If anything this gives more ammunition to the Democrats.
