Republican Sues Bush, Cheney, NSA, TSA for Illegal Surveillance, Wiretapping

[L.A. BRONCOS FAN]

Scott Tooley, a Republican, and former Congressional aide and law school graduate, educated at renowned Christian universities, has filed suit against the President, Vice President and relevant federal agencies for their illegal surveillance programs.

According to the complaint, the Bush-Cheney Administration initiated numerous illegal and perpetual surveillance methods on Mr. Tooley and his family after he was incorrectly placed on the TSA's "selectee" or watch list.

Mr. Tooley's case is unique because the suit alleges the Bush Administration has used additional illegal surveillance methods on him in addition to the illegal wiretapping. Mr. Tooley is also the first Republican to file suit with regard to the Bush Administration's surveillance programs.

The suit alleges that RFID tags "that monitor their vehicle movements" were placed on his wife's car.

Prior to filing suit, Mr. Tooley says he asked federal agencies for the removal of his name from the TSA's watch list and any documents relating to the matter. He says he was stonewalled and told that the agencies could neither confirm nor deny that his name was placed on multiple watch lists.

The complaint was filed today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Friday, February 17, 2006. Mr. Tooley is represented by Larry Klayman, former Chairman of Judicial Watch and former U.S. Senate candidate from Florida. Mr. Klayman is now in private practice in Miami and Washington, D.C.

A noble gesture...but he won't get far, no one will.

It may be cynical to say so, but that is what our goverment has become.....they have almost absolute power, they've consolidated it and they can do whatever they wish, legal or not, without accountability and get away with it, time and time and time again.

He's a mouse fighting a gorillia......he won't get far and he'll be ruined for life as a result.

They love the Fatherland and will make all the necessary sacrifices to protect their families from the forces of evil. You know, that evil that we are told about periodically by our leader GB lest we ever get complacent and stop living in fear long enough to think what is happening to our country.

Why Should Anyone Worry about Whose Communications
Bush and Cheney Are Intercepting, If It Helps to Find Terrorists?
By John W. Dean
FindLaw.com

Although the Bush Administration does not encourage public debate over decisions it has made regarding how to govern, more and more people are asking questions about the ways and means employed during this presidency.

In my last column, I addressed the seemingly irresolvable issue of the allocation of government powers - among the president, Congress and the federal courts - regarding matters of national security. Since then, the debate about the Bush Administration's refusal to comply with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act - and its parallel insistence on defending its warrantless wiretapping - has only continued.

Both Republicans and Democrats have raised questions about the administration's defiance of the law in the name of fighting terrorism. One organization at the forefront of concern about this blatant lawbreaking is the ACLU - which recently convened a panel in Washington to discuss this subject. This broad-based dialogue, in which I participated, certainly added to my understanding. Not surprisingly, it raised issues that need further attention.

One, in particular, that has been gnawing at me, is the question why anyone should worry about the government listening in on conversations if they are doing nothing wrong. This is an old question that often arises in issues relating to privacy. Yet frankly, it still annoys me every time it is asked.

The question shouldn't be:

"If you aren't doing anything wrong, don't worry about it."

it should be:

"if i'm not doing anything wrong, what right do you have to presume i'm guilty?"

With Gov. George W. Bush leading the charge, charter schools opened hastily across Texas. The result: Taxpayer money has been squandered by a handful of schools that by all rights should never have been granted the right to open.

In the closest election in US history, what you're looking at had the power to put Gore in the White House.

There was a good news story the other day about how a lot of these Texas charter schools are now left to operate without funding in dilapidated buildings without heat or plumbing. The kids have to walk 2 blocks to the public library to use the restroom.

YEEE-HAW!
