Strokes On The left!
Let The Leftinistra Stroke Out!
In a previous post here, Miss Beth brought our attention to another Leftinistra Strawman gone up in flames.
In the NY Post today, we find this: COURT GIVES BUSH A WIN ON WIRETAPS
July 7, 2007 — CINCINNATI - A federal appeals court yesterday ordered the dismissal of a lawsuit challenging President Bush’s domestic spying program, saying the plaintiffs had no standing to sue.
The 2-1 ruling by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel was not on the legality of the surveillance program, but it vacated an order last year by a lower court in Detroit.
That court had found the post-9/11 warrantless surveillance aimed at uncovering terrorist activity to be unconstitutional, violating rights to privacy and free speech and the separation of powers.
The American Civil Liberties Union led the lawsuit on behalf of other groups including lawyers, journalists and scholars it says have been handicapped in doing their jobs by the government monitoring.
The case will be sent back to the U.S. District judge in Michigan for dismissal.
“Handicapped in doing their jobs”? What “jobs” would that be? Sedition? Subversion? Aiding and abetting the enemy? Treason? Licking the laps of the NYSlimes and the Washington Compost?
