Government's current plan appears to be:

1) Wipe ass with constitution

2) Further weaken national unity

3) ????

4) Violent revolution?

that's quite extreme

very. but so far 1 and 2 are happening.

and i voted for that paice of ******.

1. Judicial branch prevents this
2. Not Bush who is doing this...the rhetoric the Dems are throwing around is

Rational thought FTW

You mean the Judicial branch that Bush and the republicans just got done putting in their boy Roberts to head this judicial branch and about to add another "friend" of theirs too as well. The same judicial branch that had a Sup. Court judge going on personal hunting trips with the VP.
yea I am sure the judicial branch is setup to block bush and republicans now. :roll:

The judicial branch is the only branch that seems to stop completely and totally insane things from happening. But it is made up of people, and those people are not without agendas of their own.

yes the judical branch. they just allowed the teh wording of the constitution to allow the takeing of privatly owned land to go to a BUSINESS. yes they are stopping toatall yinsane things from happening.

I think it is just to get statistics on how readily porn is available online to help them craft whatever piece of legislation they want to craft. Like I said in an earlier post, it is a dumb way to go about it. They could have just as easily asked Google for their cooperation in getting these statistics instead of asking for the data altogether.

But yeah, GWB sucks more and more by the day!

Privacy is a right. It may not be specifically written in the Constitution, but if you don't believe that we have a right to privacy, you're kidding yourself.

I don't see how the statistics would be of any use anyway. It does not take into account how many legal people are looking for porn.

as others said its just a way to get into the database and snoop around. Once they get in for this they won't have problems getting in for other excuses.

and my julia childs joke got no responses. im going to cry now!

How would this even help? I would suspect in the vast majority of cases, you couldn't even tell if the person at the computer was a child or a parent.

 

[gwrober]

I wonder if Ted Nugent knows about this.....

They're trying to find out how easily porn is available. I doubt they are trying to find out who was making searches as much as how often porn pops up when someone performs certain searches.

Then they could do this research themselves, just search common key words. No need to go snooping around in google's databases. Also, it's not hard to realize that pron is pretty ubiquitous nowadays. I don't see how this data would provide any new insights.

yeah it makes me wonder how they even got a subpoena in the first place.

I don't see why AT'ers under 18 are afraid, they ought to be getting their pr0n from BT anyways.

But still, nasty precedent.

Yeah, but the point is that they have ABSOLUTELY no right to that information. It is called PRIVACY. I understand the need to seek out terrorists, but just because you visit a site that tells you how to make a bomb doesn't mean you are one, and there is nothing illegal about KNOWING how to make a bomb just MAKING one.

So I think we know where YOU'VE been lately...

(for the record, this IS pretty damn absurd though)

While I agree that there is a difference between "child pr0n" and "child looking at pr0n", if you read down in the article, the article seems to be confused over the distinction, and I would not be surprised if the politicians and fundies (is there a difference these days?) were also unable to make distinctions. If you recall, this administration is marked by an overt and public denial of the existence of any colors save black and white. "You're either with us, or you're with the child pornographers", to turn a phrase.

What no one has yet mentioned, given the scope and aim of the inquiry, is that this may not be an attack on pornography directly, but on filtering technology. That in and of itself would give Google strong reason to protest this action. Imagine, for example, that it is found that Google's "safe search" is proven to be highly effective. You think congress would not comandeer that technology and legislate its implementation at the ISP level? Remember, these are the same people who want unique trackable ID's assigned just so you can log onto the internet from your own computer. Imagine the equivalent of a "learner's permit" ID in such a situation.

Make no mistake, on the face of it, this looks like a gross breach of civil rights and yet another foray into the shredding of the Constitution ... in fact, it is much, much deeper and malignant.
