Justice Deparetment Says FBI Does Not Need A Court Order for Our Phone Records

             Our Bill of Rights was put in place for one reason. To restrain the powers of the government. These executive orders singed by former President Bush and now President Obama makes it clear they become a law onto themselves without any check on their power from the courts or congress. I would like to know were does the Justice Department get this authority in the Constitution? It does not. The Fourth Amendment says:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
       This is what sound like the same thing when the British crown and Parliament  passed The Stamp Act and the of The Writs Assistance Act where Soldier can write there own search warrants with out going before a judge to get the right to search a person or place without proving probable cause entering a home to find items that did not have the King's stamp on it.
        Now the Justice Department is telling the FBI they can access anyone's phone records without a court order in the name of National security and keeping us safe. I do not like it at all because who a person associates with is none of the government's business. Does this put their close friends,their fiance and co workers in the fray now making them suspect because who they associate with based on a persons phone records? This is where the abuses start and become never ending. We can not trust the FBI to protect the rights of the people. They are the one violating peoples rights.
        This is why we need to go to our County Sheriffs and State legislators to erect barriers against these abuses  on the people by an out of control federal government.Congress will not act.The Executive branch ignores the court rulings against their encroachments on the people.Where does it stop? This I am afraid might be in the people's hands to stop this onslaught against our liberties if we can not get the people we elect into office to uphold their oath they sworn to do.

  1. 1, When did you ever nominate someone to an elected office?
    2, Who has to swear an oath? Do you? And why if you don't do you think these laws apply to you?
    3, The FBI"s job might just be to make sure people who work for the US gov do their job and not someone
    else's
    4, So you think Gov employees have rights or maybe just obligations?

  2. Since when has the federal government upheld the Constitution or represented the people?

  3. This is not something new one of my best friends has been in prison for over a year now with no likelyhood of getting out anytime soon (under at least 5 years) due to the governments abuse of its power in this matter and because the FBI, CI, and agents abuse and break the law when and how they want to get the results they want.
