If you're arrested in California, data stored on your mobile phone, tablet or other portable computing devices could be seized by police without so much as a search warrant.

If Wikileaks proved anything it's that governments reserve the right to tell any lie, keep any secret they want and now, with this ruling, it is clear that governments also feel the forth amendment has had its day as well and individuals no longer have a right to privacy.

The Constitution clearly says: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated... Clearly establishing a right to privacy. At the same time the Constitution says absolutely nothing about corporations having "rights." Yet in this topsy turvy world, there is no right of privacy for individuals but there is a right of free speech for corporations. There is a right to secrecy and the telling of lies by government but no right of privacy for the individual.

Slowly the fascist corporate and government elements in this country are winning the battle. Slowly insanity is becoming the rule and not the exception.

2. Read it? You mean like Bush Jr read "My Pet Goat?"

I can just see the future. Six months from now someone will ask a republican why they are trying to kill the Constitution. the response? "Kill it? Now why would we do that after we read it?"

3. If You Thought This Wasn't Serious

http://thinkprogress.org/2011/01/05/child-sex-bill/">Why Is Jeff Sessions Blocking A Child Sex Trafficking Bill?

Sessions is pushing back against claims that he believes child victims deserve to be arrested as prostitutes, something the conservative Concerned Women of America alleged. In defending Sessions’ decision, a Republican Judiciary aide told ThinkProgress that Sessions was instrumental in helping the bill clear the Senate Judiciary Committee but had to object after the House removed two of his amendments that he said toughened the bill. One measure required a mandatory minimum sentence “for transporting, receiving or distributing” child pornography. The other expanded subpoena authority to the U.S. Marshals Service over unregistered sex offenders. But because the House removed these measures in its final revision, the Senate aide indicated several members opposed the new version. Thus, the staffer told us that, as the Ranking Member of the committee, Sessions had to be the one to block the bill.

So instead of a bill to increase the protection of children from predators, Sessions, a possible pederast himself, blocked it because it wasn't fascist enough for him.

BTW: If I read this correctly, all it takes is for someone in law enforcement to accuse an individual of transporting, receiving or distributing child pornography, which is something that might happen on the internet, and they can go Guantanamo whacko on their butt...but of course such abuse would never happen, wink wink...

6. We need an app for that

It would deep format/delete everything on the phone/computer if someone tried to copy the drive or access it without the correct pass code. Not for everyone of course. You would have a backup on your computer. Or perhaps just activate a phony replacement so as not to arouse unnecessary suspicion.

I really hope that the judges who do this anti constitutional shit get caught in it themselves.

7. Not In The Least

I really hope that the judges who do this anti constitutional shit get caught in it themselves.

That's not how right wingers role...they have one set of laws for everyone else and no law for themselves.

8. And There's More

http://thinkprogress.org/2011/01/06/cbo-score-repeal/">New CBO Analysis: GOP’s Push For Health Law Repeal Would Increase Deficit By $230 Billion Over 10 Years

Wait, didn't the republicans promise to cut the budget by 100 billion? Well after they are done killing healthcare reform and throwing 50 million people out of the system, they have to cut another 230 billion just to break even...

Tell me something, were you dumb enough to vote for these gas bags?
