Comment Re:It's what you do with it that counts (Score 1) 184

Letting any member of government ignore the reasonable constraints placed on them by their society because they might do what's right for their country instead of what promotes their own career is like letting a rabid dog free in a shopping mall because it might bite a shoplifter.

Comment No right to be forgotten. It's a tyrannica demand (Score 1) 257

You can't demand to be forgotten without demanding that another person give up their rights to remember.

The so-called "right to be forgotten" is not a right. It's a demand that others limit their rights of free speech and freedom of expression.

Even if there was such a right, it would not promote a healthy society.
Such a "right" would mean prevent others from learning through the experience of others.

Que the "See Reagan did this, so Obama is still my hope and change." BS.

...and "Bush was so much worse."

While we're bickering about "my team" vs "your team", the constitution erodes further....

Don't you remember George Walker Bush declared the Constitution of the United States of America be to "a worthless piece of paper?" The constitution eroded in full on that day.

There it is. Right on cue.
Thanks for proving my point and getting that garbage out of the way.

Now, can we get to the business of restoring the constitution and kicking out anyone who continues to break their oaths regardless of their political associations?

Exactly.
The law is constrained by the constitution, orders (executive, and otherwise) are constrained by the law.
The point at which the constrained item reaches beyond its container is the point at which the item becomes invalid.
In other words, unlawful orders are null be definition. Unconstitutional law is no law at all. Unconstitutional orders are not orders.

no ... the money gets the honey, bunny! It has nothing to do with political ideology and everything to do with what politicians you own.

In the long-run, yes. You're absolutely right. In the short-run, it's the ones currently in office returning the favor to those that got them there.
Money and political ideology are inseparable in modern politics. Big oil feeds one. Big media feeds the other.

U.S. Constitution - Article 3 Section 3
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."

Is the CIA not an organization of war?
As such, are the tools and methods of the CIA not tools and methods of levying war?
Did the CIA not just admit to using those tools and methods of levying war against this country's government?
Then did the CIA not levy war against our own country by using the tools and methods of levying war against us?
