news a federal judge has ruled that border agents cannot seize a traveler s laptop keep it locked up for months and examine it for contraband files without a warrant half a year later half a year you think but wait there s more u s district judge jeffrey white in the northern district of california rejected the obama administration s argument that no warrant was necessary to look through the electronic files of an american citizen who was returning home from a trip to south korea the justice department invoked a novel argument which white dubbed unpersuasive claiming that while hanson was able to enter the country his laptop remained in a kind of legal limbo where the bill of rights did not apply the fourth amendment generally requires a warrant for searches empahsis mine until merchandise has cleared customs it may not enter the united states assistant u s attorney owen martikan argued the laptop never cleared customs and was maintained in government custody until it was searched someone at doj could do with a reread of the plain language of the 4th amendment posted by carlos del gato at 9 11 am 0 comments thursday june 10 epa climate fight senate to vote on who should regulate greenhouse gases abc news the senate today votes on a bill by sen lisa murkowski r alaska that would overturn an epa finding last year on the dangers of greenhouse gases which in turn gave the agency the authority to regulate those pollutants sic always nice when an agency can give authority to itself the legislation could also affect the obama administration s standards for the auto industry which were based on the epa s findings as well as to other agencies democrats said they expected a very close vote today the bill supported unanimously by republicans is unlikely to pass president obama has threatened to veto it and house speaker nancy pelosi d california is unlikely to bring it up for a vote in the house but it has exposed frays among democrats most importantly it could threaten climate change legislation that proponents were hoping would gain steam after the oil crisis in the gulf of mexico a close vote expected on usurpation how nice watch the video one reason we aren t successful in rolling back the soft tyrannies is because we don t oppose them on principle we continue to debate them on the merits which gives in the instant case sen boxer the leeway she needs to equate oil spill to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and generally cedes rhetorical ground on all fronts posted by carlos del gato at 2 40 pm 0 comments i want to nominate this town for an award or at least their fire chief about the 1 13 mark he makes a statement about only relying on his own people once upon a time self sufficiency was a valued quality in americans somewhere along the way we ve become too used to surrendering to government especially the federal government sitting back on our haunches and waiting to be rescued h t darleen at protein wisdom posted by carlos del gato at 2 05 pm 0 comments wednesday june 9 supreme court blocks arizona election funding latimes com this is interesting the supreme court in an unusual move came to the aid tuesday of well funded candidates in arizona and blocked the state from giving extra public money to those candidates who had agreed to forego private financing essentially the law says that if a candidate agrees to public financing of their campaign and does not raise their own money they can be given additional public funds to match what is spent by their opponent a real world example gov jan brewer was among those who were surprised by the high court s order she called it terribly troubling a republican she is being challenged in the republican primary by buz mills a wealthy businessman who has already spent more than 2 million on his race brewer had agreed to public funding and was to receive 707 000 for her campaign she was also eligible to receive up to 1 4 million in extra matching funds because mills her opponent had vastly outspent her the supreme court s order means she will not receive the extra money later this month so the timing is troubling the court decision having an immeidate impact on a pending election also troubling i think is the reasons given by the court it is the latest sign the high court s conservative bloc is skeptical of legal rules to limit election spending or to equalize the spending between wealthy and not so wealthy candidates two years ago the court in a 5 4 decision intervened on a behalf of a wealthy candidate for congress from upstate new york and struck down the so called millionaire s amendment that measure part of the mccain feingold act allowed a candidate to raise more money through larger donations if his opponent was spending lavishly justice samuel a alito jr called it a drag on the free speech rights of the millionaire candidate because he was penalized for spending more on his race the court has ruled here on similar first amendment grounds but i don t think this is a free speech issue i think we have a jurisdictional problem this case should never have come before a federal court arizona should be free to conduct its elections as it sees fit to include financing issues this underscores what s wrong with incorporation doctrine as a new example of federal control over what was supposed to be the domain of the states h t jeff goldstein at protein wisdom posted by carlos del gato at 11 05 am 0 comments tuesday june 8 this cat doesn t mumble i ll tell some tales in time posted by
