Week of November 18, 2007 - November 24, 2007

"The judge spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue."


The government is tracking people's movements via their GPS-capable cell phones. No warrant. No probable cause. Just a federal agent's strongly-worded belief that they want to know where you are at all times.

I'm going to type in bold now, because this most understated, alarming throwaway line I've ever read.

The judge spoke on condition of anonymity.

Anonymity is for people who fear punishment for speaking up. Never, under any circumstances whatsoever, should any American judge, anywhere, ever, be speaking on condition of anonymity!!!!! Not even for a ticking nuclear time bomb.

This is how far our country has fallen.
