Court To Hear Case About Our Bully Government And The No-Fly List
Helen Jung writes in The Oregonian:
A lawsuit against the FBI over the constitutionality of the no-fly list is set to proceed in U.S. District Court in Portland.The no-fly list lawsuit ... challenges the government for barring U.S. citizens from flying without giving evidence or reasons for their exclusion.
Remember when this used to be America we lived in -- back before it became some English-speaking Russian state?
Growing up, I read a bunch of novels about Russia. I used to think it was so great that I lived in a country where nobody demanded your "papers" unless they had reason to believe you'd committed a crime.
Welcome to Moscow. Please leave your rights and any wet umbrellas at the door.
I can't wait to see how the government lawyers try to wiggle out from under the 4th and 5th.
It's going to be an interesting case.

The Hunt for Red October
Capt. Vasili Borodin: I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state. Do they let you do that?
Captain Ramius: I suppose.
Capt. Vasili Borodin: No papers?
Captain Ramius: No papers, state to state.
1984 (Movie in 1990). What an era ago.
