Would be to fortify the protections, the Privacy Protections for americans in the law but the law has evolved and exactly the opposite direction and indeed since 9 11 there has been a sea change in the law. If you back up a few decades following the church committees revelations in 1970s there was a series of laws and policies put in place that establish a kind of golden rule. Intelligence agencies could not collect information on americans from within the United States without some individualized factbased suspicion of wrongdoing. Now the purpose and the effect of this rule was to constrain the abuses that had come before it. In the past 14 years a cardinal principle has been utterly jettisoned from the law. So lets talk about the three legal authorities that we know of under which mass surveillance is currently occurring. The first is section 215 of the patriot act. This is the provision that allows the government to get a fisa court order Compelling Companies to turn over Business R
Bothersome debate. And maybe its a symptom of why so Many Americans are kind of put off by the war. Why do you argue about stuff like that . But lets look at those names in a different way. Each of those names represents a perfectly valid perspective on the war. And each is a potential gateway for americans to engage in this story. This worldchanging story. The problem is and for reasons that seem mysterious to many, people who are not inclined toward history the problem is we continue to throw barriers large and subtle in the way of those intellectual gateways into this history. We view the labels, these names as not able to stand side by side but mutually exclusive. If the war is a war of northern aggression, it cant also be a war for emancipation. But, in fact it was. It was all those things. And thats okay. So like our fellow americans our history always challenges us to be better. We draw strength and inspiration from those who risked and gave all for our communitys protection, ou
Well here at delaware and the four other northeastern states that vote next tuesday. Indiana made theirs more of a question mark. We started to get some data in now including numbers from a local station showing trump up by six points. Wthr has trump 37 , cruz 31 and kasich 22 . Certainly would be welcome news to the Trump Campaign. Just one poll but something they will look other thing weve le today about mr. Trump is that he plans to make a Foreign Policy speech next wednesday in washington, d. C. Weve heard a lot about this move to be more serious, even some say more president ial. While this seems to qualify. Listen though to what trump said about that topic last night in harrisburg, pennsylvania. My wife is constantly saying, darling be more president ial. I just dont know that i want to do it quite yet, jeffrey, because we have a job to do. At some point im going to be so president ial that you people will be so bored. Instead of 10,000, blshgs glshg bl instead of 10,000 people i
In seven states so far. Alabama, arkansas, georgia, massachusetts, tennessee, virginia and vermont. Were waiting on alaska. They are counting right now. You can see ted cruz holding on to a narrow 239vote lead. This keeps changing, folks. Dont go anywhere. It could get interesting. Also interesting, donald trump did not hold a big Election Night victory. He held a News Conference in florida. With Chris Christie at his side. Im a unifier. But i am a unifier. Once we get all of this finished, im going to go after one person, thats Hillary Clinton. On the assumption she is allowed to run. I dont know if she will be allowed to run. Donald trump, not the only winner. Ted cruz picked up two victories, as well. His home state of texas. And an important win for ted cruz in alaska. Marco rubio, his first and only victory in the race so far. He won the minnesota caucuses. Hillary clinton winning in seven states. Alabama, arkansas, georgia, tennessee, texas, and virginia.
