WoolseyWatch--Aiding Al-Qaeda By Joining Lawsuit To Stop NSA Program

Just the other day, I wrote that Looney Lynn Woolsey was too busy aiding America's enemies--foreign & domestic--to get involved in the fight to remove high-risk sex offenders placed among her constituents in Marin County.

Need proof? From the Lefty website The Raw Story, Woolsey, plus 70 other Democrats in the House and Independent Socialist Bernie Sanders filed briefs in two federal courts to stop the NSA terrorist eavesdropping program. Also among the 70 are fellow Treason Lobby members John Conyers, "Baghdad" Jim McDermott, Barbara Lee, Jerrold "Jabba-the-Hut" Nadler, Fortney Pete Stark and Maxine Waters.

They were also joined in the suit by the Al-Qaeda Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Center for (Un)Constitutional Rights.

It's interesting how these same Democrats, many of whom supported Bill Clinton's excursions into Iraq, were silent about the Echelon Program, made known via SeeBS 60 Minutes in February 2000 by Steve Kroft.

(Kroft) "If you made a phone call today or sent an e-mail to a friend, there's a good chance what you said or wrote was captured and screened by the country's largest intelligence agency. The top-secret Global Surveillance Network is called Echelon, and it's run by the National Security Agency and four English-speaking allies: Canada, Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand. The mission is to eavesdrop on enemies of the state: foreign countries, terrorist groups and drug cartels. But in the process, Echelon's computers capture virtually every electronic conversation around the world."

Where was the outrage then from any of the above members of the House, the ACLU or any other phony civil libertarian groups? Where was the anger over the 1,000 FBI files possessed by the Clinton Administration? There was nothing but silence from these partisans. Even the Treason Times (formerly known as The New York Times, defended this Clinton-era program.
But the stakes are much higher today than they were in 2000. Our nation was attacked by Islamic terrorists the following year on our own soil. Previous presidents have had the power to monitor and spy on our enemies. Now, Woolsey and her Leftist cohorts are putting all our lives at risk by trying to stop this necessary program, simply because they hate President Bush more than Osama bin Laden.

But there is an even dangerous precedent here. The President of the United States is listed in the Constitution as Commander-in-Chief, NOT unelected judges on some court or 535 members of Congress. Thus, these "representatives" are trying to supersede the Constitution. They are attempting to vest the judiciary with power to override the Commander-in-Chief (the President) during wartime.

Congressmen take an oath to defend the Constitution “against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” By attempting to hinder our ability to defend and protect America, its citizens and way of life from future terrorist attacks, Lynn Woolsey and her cohorts show themselves to be the domestic enemies they swore to protect our nation from.
