As long as they weren't using the AMPS frequencies it should be legal. Speaking of the AMPS frequencies, when are we going to rescind the law making listening to those frequencies illegal, it's not like that law is needed anymore.

Well the Supreme Court would be very different for 1. Actually that may be the most important. If we had had a Republican president we certainly would not have Sotamayor and Kagen. That in itself is a huge thing that will have repercussions far beyond Obama's presidency.

Is no one else upset that your iphone is reporting back to apple and their affiliates what music you are listening to?

I think the fact they are getting information on what songs people play should be the real outrage, but hey that's just me.

That is the question, and probably warrants more outrage then the U2 album debacle.

Except these pages were in response to the outrage, they were after the fact pseudo fixes.

You know that the majority of the airstrikes that have severely slowed ISIS are American airstrikes ordered by Obama. Just want to make sure your not talking out your ass because it kinda sounds like you are.

If that's what you got from the Bible maybe you do belong over in the Middle East.

Zathras is used to being beast of burden to other people's needs. Very sad life. Probably have very sad death. But, at least there is symmetry.

What are you talking about? This has absolutely nothing to do with executive privilege. This is a power that Congress gave to the FCC a long ass time ago. To classify and regulate communications. It's what they were created to do.

Except the likely hood of the right taking the presidency in 2016 is slim. The fact they keep distancing themselves from minority voters is going to keep them out of the White House for several election cycles.
