White House demands dismissal of spy suit
By DAVID KRAVETS, Associated Press Writer Fri Jun 23, 4:32 AM ET
SAN FRANCISCO - A lawsuit challenging the Bush administration's domestic spying program must be dismissed because it threatens to reveal state secrets and jeopardize the war on terror, the government says.
The case was set to go before a federal judge in San Francisco on Friday.
The Bush administration argues that the courts cannot decide the constitutionality of the president's asserted wartime powers to eavesdrop on Americans without warrants.
The government is invoking the so-called "state secrets privilege" in a federal lawsuit filed by a privacy group against communications giant AT&T Inc. about the telecom's alleged involvement in Bush's surveillance program adopted after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
"Resolution of those legal issues depends entirely on facts that, in light of their highly classified nature, cannot be made the subject of litigation," the Justice Department wrote in a brief to U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker.
The legal tactic of state secrets privilege, first recognized by the Supreme Court in a McCarthy-era lawsuit, has been increasingly and successfully invoked by federal lawyers seeking to shield the government from scrutiny by the courts, from espionage cases and patent disputes to routine employment discrimination lawsuits.
The president confirmed in December that the National Security Agency has been conducting warrantless surveillance of calls and e-mails thought to involve al-Qaida terrorists if at least one of the parties to the communication is outside the United States. The administration is mum on whether purely domestic calls and electronic communications are being monitored, as the lawsuit alleges.
The lawsuit was brought by the Electronic Frontier Foundation, on behalf of customers of San Antonio-based AT&T. The EFF accuses the telecom of illegally cooperating with the NSA to make communications on AT&T networks available to the spy agency without warrants.
AT&T said it follows all applicable laws when it comes to government monitoring of customer data, but would neither confirm nor deny the allegations.
The EFF is urging Walker in legal filings to rule on whether the president possesses wartime powers to authorize warrantless eavesdropping in the United States without publicly disclosing any classified or sensitive material.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the state secrets defense as recently as January, when it rejected an appeal from a former covert CIA officer who accused the agency of race discrimination. And last month, citing the state secrets defense, the government urged a federal judge in Virginia to block a lawsuit by a German national who says he was illegally held in a CIA-run prison in Afghanistan for four months and tortured.
The Supreme Court first recognized the state secrets doctrine in 1953, when it dismissed a lawsuit against the government brought by family members of people killed in a plane wreck while testing secret electronic surveillance equipment.
FUCK THE WHITE HOUSE !!!!!!
That Shit-head in Washington has got to go!!!!
Yeah, Mother Fucker Bush, you are the “Commander in Chief” and you can do anything you want because we are at “war,” and this fucking “war” is going to last at least a GENERATION; so you and your mother fucking ass-kissers can do anything you fucking want to for as long as you fucking want to (just like a King; even a Divine Right King, since god whispers in your ignorant ear), and here’s the good part: you can “spread DEMOCRACY around the world” even though you take it upon yourself to declare that you don't have to follow ANY of the laws Congress passes and you sign (YOU are above the law - you're the Commander in Chief, the Big Cheese, the New Fuehrer!!!).
You are out of your fucking mind, Dubya!!!
And these psychotic arguments about how you can’t testify about how you are fucking America over because testifying about how you are fucking America over would reveal the facts of how you are fucking America over and that would fuck America over - make me puke!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does a government of, by, and for the people – supposedly spreading
Democracy around the world - need to do what the AP story says:
“The legal tactic of state secrets privilege, first recognized by the Supreme Court in a McCarthy-era lawsuit, has been increasingly and successfully invoked by federal lawyers seeking to shield the government from scrutiny by the courts, from espionage cases and patent disputes to routine employment discrimination lawsuits.”
The government needs to do it because it’s NOT a government of, by, and for the people; and it’s not spreading Democracy. This shitpile in Washington – in reality – is doing everything that, as a child, I was taught the evil “commies” were doing.
Talk about dictatorships, talk about Authoritarian Totalitarianism !!! These fuckers are IT !!!!!! McCarthy, for sure.
These bastards are dedicated to bending the world to their will. And if you think they only want foreigners licking their boots, you’ve not been paying attention.
These fuckers have got to go. If the courts say, “Oh, gee willikers!! There’s no problem here. We don’t need to hear THIS case,” you’d better start building a guillotine or kiss your ass goodbye.

Hi Tom,
It's obvious you were extremely angry when you wrote your comments. And you SHOULD be angry. Every American citizen SHOULD be angry. Instead, most of them never read the articles or reports telling us about these atrocities by the US government and its so-called leaders.
Is it any wonder - as I heard on NPR this morning - that people in other countries don't like America?! How could they respect or believe a country's leaders who claim to be spreading democracy to other countries WHILE destroying whatever democracy still remains in this country.
You and I are getting old, but I'm telling you the younger generations had better wake up and wake up NOW.
Hang in there. Don't have a heart attack over the fucking non president who lives in the big house in Washington. Sondra
Sondra and All The Others Reading This Fine Blog -
I was really just kinda sorta wondering how Tom REALLY FELT about The Boy Emperor, The IIdioTwIIt, GeorgiePorgie, and too many others to spell out RIGHT now!
SO - Tom - how DO you feel about him?
Please DON'T hold back!
:-)
And don't ever forget, you've got Friends In PA!
Take Care and Play Well Later Today!

How ironic would it be if the terrorists smuggled a suitcase nuke into DC via container ship and touched it off because that FUCKING SIMPLETON refuses to actually do anything but create an imperial presidency??? Impeachment required for many reasons BUT primarily because he has grossly, and egregiously violated his oath of office (as well as his evil puppetmaster Cheney) to uphold and protect the constitution of this formerly great country. We will not mention the other High Crimes and Misdemeanors committed with his approval by his NeoConservative Gestapo. The Second Amendment is more important now than ever.
