The list keeps getting bigger and bigger. Our president seems to declare a new previously-private domain of ours to be fair game to his prying eyes every other week. Your phones, your bank accounts, and now your mail are at the mercy of the Great Decider.
Is nothing sacred to this guy? Is EVERYTHING his business? Is THAT what we all asked for on September 12, 2001?
Dammit, I say it's time to go on the offensive with this nosy sonofabitch.
Nancy! Harry! It is time for the United States Congress to declare SOMETHING sacred, SOMETHING off-limits, SOMETHING free from the prying eyes of President Snoopy. It's time to draw the proverbial line in the sand. Might I suggest...
THE DEFENSE OF THE UNDERWEAR DRAWER ACT OF 2007
You heard me. I want my underwear drawer declared off-limits to all warrantless searches. If George wants to go through my underwear drawer, he had better get himself a goddamned warrant first.
And I want a declaration in that legislation that forbids the president from adding a signing statement saying that he reserves the authority to look through my underwear drawer without a warrant for ANY reason whatsoever. Think that's unconstitutional? Fine. Let the courts decide it, along with George's outrageous claims.
Dammit, dammit, dammit! SOMETHING has to be sacred!
Bush is already prevented from performing underwear dragnets without a warrant you say? Something in the Constituion already forbids such a search without a warrant?
HA!!!
Congress has sat on its hands while this guy has gone ahead and snooped through your phone calls, bank records, and now your mail. He is not going to stop expanding that list until he is firmly, solidly, BOLDLY confronted. He will not stop until someone draws a line and says "You will NOT cross this." And yes, even then he will be tempted to defy us. But if the line is drawn in a place the public universally declares to be sacred, the outcry may be too much for him. He may back down. And then SOMETHING will be safe.
And once that is accomplished, we move the line. Just like he does. The sock drawer is next. Then the medicine cabinet. And then that drawer in the lamp stand next to the bed. Hell, we might even get the second amendment nuts to join us on THAT crusade. We'll do this as many times as it takes until the public finally catches on to this idiot.
He is slowly eroding our rights. We can slowly erode what he believes to be his.
TWO CAN PLAY THIS GAME, GODDAMNITALL!!!
Nancy. Harry. We need your help on this one. Start small if you feel you must, but start SOMEWHERE. Act as outrageously as he is. It may be our only hope.
For God's sake, please protect my underwear!
