Shocking isn't it ?? A few days after this story ran on Glenn Beck's show, the White House announced it was removing the screen that contained the wording that granted the Federal government unlimited access to your computer. However, they have not said whether they will or will not be spying, as the terms on that screen said. I believe this invasion of privacy is a violation of the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution which 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, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
Some say this was all perfectly legal under the 4th Amendment because the screen in question contains an oath or affirmation and describes the persons or things to be searched. However, they forget that the 4th Amendment also says the search and seizure MUST be reasonable and there MUST be probable cause. There is NO reasonableness or probable cause associated with this search and seizure - period. The only reason the Obama Administration pulled the incriminating screen is because it got caught with it's hand in the cookie jar. They need to be held accountable.
P.S. I had promised a post on H.R. 3200, the health care reform bill, today. However, the bill is so massive I have decided to do a complete and thorough series on it next week. Stay tuned.
P.P.S. In the video Glenn Beck mentions Obama's Czars. I'll tell you about them in a couple of weeks.
