Restore the Constitution

A path to restore the Constitution is available although many legal authorities are prevented from talking about it because of a gag order.

Obamabow More Popular Amongst His Own

A March Ipsos poll suggests that Obamabow is more popular amongst those who advocate his pro-Islamic agenda rather than those favoring American interests. The survey involved 7,000 adults in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan.

Of those surveyed, 33% had a favorable view of the United States, 43% had a negative view, 14% were neutral and 10% said they did not know.

In contrast, Obamabow received favorable ratings averaging 48% in the region as a whole. Approval ran as high as 58% in Jordan and was lowest among Egyptians, who gave Obamabow favorable ratings of 35%.

Only 22% of Egyptians expressed a favorable view of the United States, the lowest of the six countries surveyed.

Of all Islamic Middle Eastern countries, Egypt receives more aid than any one else leading me to conclude that the pro-Islamic the West is the lower the support will be amongst the population surveyed.

No Need for Warrant: Police Track with GPS

A Wisconsin Court upheld the ability for police to secretly track people without a warrant. This case is guaranteed to add fuel to the fire in regards to the debate about the use of GPS devices to track people. As U.S. citizens slide into a nation observed and tracked by the government without cause or warrant this case has more ominous implications once the census conducts its work and locates the front door of every person living in America. This is an extremely dangerous precedent.

Wisconsin court upholds GPS tracking by police

MADISON, Wis. - Wisconsin police can attach GPS to cars to secretly track anybody's movements without obtaining search warrants, an appeals court ruled Thursday.

However, the District 4 Court of Appeals said it was "more than a little troubled" by that conclusion and asked Wisconsin lawmakers to regulate GPS use to protect against abuse by police and private individuals.

As the law currently stands, the court said police can mount GPS on cars to track people without violating their constitutional rights -- even if the drivers aren't suspects.

Officers do not need to get warrants beforehand because GPS tracking does not involve a search or a seizure, Judge Paul Lundsten wrote for the unanimous three-judge panel based in Madison.

That means "police are seemingly free to secretly track anyone's public movements with a GPS device," he wrote.

One privacy advocate said the decision opened the door for greater government surveillance of citizens. Meanwhile, law enforcement officials called the decision a victory for public safety because tracking devices are an increasingly important tool in investigating criminal behavior.

The ruling came in a 2003 case involving Michael Sveum, a Madison man who was under investigation for stalking. Police got a warrant to put a GPS on his car and secretly attached it while the vehicle was parked in Sveum's driveway. The device recorded his car's movements for five weeks before police retrieved it and downloaded the information.

The information suggested Sveum was stalking the woman, who had gone to police earlier with suspicions. Police got a second warrant to search his car and home, found more evidence and arrested him. He was convicted of stalking and sentenced to prison.

Sveum, 41, argued the tracking violated his Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure. He argued the device followed him into areas out of public view, such as his garage.

The court disagreed. The tracking did not violate constitutional protections because the device only gave police information that could have been obtained through visual surveillance, Lundsten wrote.

Even though the device followed Sveum's car to private places, an officer tracking Sveum could have seen when his car entered or exited a garage, Lundsten reasoned. Attaching the device was not a violation, he wrote, because Sveum's driveway is a public place.

"We discern no privacy interest protected by the Fourth Amendment that is invaded when police attach a device to the outside of a vehicle, as long as the information obtained is the same as could be gained by the use of other techniques that do not require a warrant," he wrote.

Although police obtained a warrant in this case, it wasn't needed, he added.

Larry Dupuis, legal director of the ACLU of Wisconsin, said using GPS to track someone's car goes beyond observing them in public and should require a warrant.

"The idea that you can go and attach anything you want to somebody else's property without any court supervision, that's wrong," he said. "Without a warrant, they can do this on anybody they want."

Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen's office, which argued in favor of the warrantless GPS tracking, praised the ruling but would not elaborate on its use in Wisconsin.

David Banaszynski, president of the Wisconsin Chiefs of Police Association, said his department in the Milwaukee suburb of Shorewood does not use GPS. But other departments might use it to track drug dealers, burglars and stalkers, he said.

A state law already requires the Department of Corrections to track the state's most dangerous sex offenders using GPS. The author of that law, Rep. Scott Suder, R-Abbotsford, said the decision shows "GPS tracking is an effective means of protecting public safety."

"During the second 100 days, we will design, build and open a library dedicated to my first 100 days."

And: "My next 100 days will be so successful, I will complete them in 72 days. And on the 73rd day, I will rest."

The yuks elicited a reaction from the 2,500 journalists, politicians, and celebrities attending the Washington Hilton ballroom for the press corps' annual celebration of itself. Obamabow passed on the National Day of Prayer but he attended the homage to himself. He stated: "Most of you covered me; all of you voted for me. Apologies to the Fox table."

The mistress of ceremonies for the evening was Wanda Sykes, an actress and comedian who grew up locally and got her start doing stand-up while moonlighting from her day job as a procurement officer at the National Security Agency.

"It's funny to me that [photographers] have never caught you smoking," Sykes told the president, "but they always catch you with your shirt off. I know you're into this transparency thing, but I don't need to see your nipples."

The joke is indicative of just how little is revealed about Obamabow. I have collected the few smoking pictures of him available. They are hide to find since the press does not generally take unflattering pictures of His Highness.

Regime Kills Third American

A swine flu-related death has been reported in Washington state, bringing the total number of fatalities in the United States to three, FOX affiliate KCPQ confirmed.

The latest victim was described as a man in his 30s with underlying heart conditions.

The unidentified Snohomish County man died Thursday from what appears to be complications from the H1N1 virus, the state Department of Health said in a statement.

In addition to the heart conditions, the man had viral pneumonia at the time of his death, but swine flu was considered a factor in his death, the statement said.

More on Ducky: From Repubx

While 'Ducky' may be an "inline" editing program or such, for Adobe Photoshop, when exporting images to the Web (though, I haven't seen this myself), why would 'Ducky' come up as a comment in Vueprint software? All Photoshop edited images have the "JFIF" coding extension (at least for JPG) files, but it doesn't specify that as a comment in the Vueprint software (only Ducky).

Obots have said that Ducky appears in all JPG image exports to the Web from Photoshop, yet the photos I have evaluated for Obama were all of the GIF image type (not JPG). So, is 'Ducky' really a comment applied by the person who had the image in Photoshop?

Here is some info on this for someone having researched the above (thanks Ron):

I downloaded the officially released photo of Air Force One over New York City. I used VuePrint software (free trial at hamrick.com) I clicked on File, Show, Show Comments and "ducky<" appeared in a split window just like on various other photos.

Try it yourself! You can look at a wide variety of photos with the split window at the bottom of the screen. Use the space bar to load the next photo. It is interesting what you will see. Every digital photo you take yourself will have a large number of entries, including identification of your camera and your camera settings for the shot.

And .. we found this ... remember the fake Certification of Live Birth image that originally came from a blogger at DailyKOS, that Obama used to post on his "Fight the Smears" website ..well, you might find this interesting then:

that Philip T. Duck of 'The Daily Kos' goes by the handle "Ducky".
