Klayman: Kavanaugh Forced to Change His Tune on 4th Amendment and Mass Surveillance!

By

Kavanaugh abandons approval of NSA phone dragnet, but skeptics aren’t sold Washington Examiner September 8, 2018 Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh testified Thursday night that “I don’t see how I could” stand by a 2015 opinion he wrote upholding the dragnet collection of domestic call records, citing a recent ruling that limited police access to cellphone location data. But Kavanaugh’s disavowal didn’t win over attorneys who challenged the National Security Agency program, who say they remain concerned about his interpretation of the Fourth Amendment and his still-murky role in post-9/11 surveillance programs.

Why Did Clinton Share the Stage With Farrakhan?

By

By Alan Dershowitz, opinion contributor TheHill September 8, 2018 Imagine President Trump being invited to speak at the funeral of a white singer who he admired (say, Ted Nugent, if he were to pass) and seeing that David Duke was on stage in a place of honor. Well, President Clinton gave a speech in the presence of Louis Farrakhan at the funeral for Aretha Franklin. Hillary Clinton was sitting off to the side but did not speak. Why would President Clinton, a good man and a friend of the Jewish people, do this? There are several possible answers. First,…

A Frightening Week in the War to Overthrow Trump

By

By Larry Klayman WND September 7, 2018 It was a wild week! Not just because of the confirmation hearings for Judge Brett Kavanaugh and the dog-and-pony show we were forced to witness from both political parties, much less the leftist vigilante mostly radical-feminist shrieking “disrupters” lodged in the hearing room, but also because of the lying and deceit of Democratic senator and presidential wannabe Cory Booker. Top this all off with the alleged administration official who treasonously penned a “tell all” op-ed for the New York Times and the phony anti-Trump book of washed up Washington Post investigative reporter…

Senator Leahy Pursues Questions about Privacy with Judge Kavanaugh

By

Electronic Privacy Information Center September 7, 2018 During day three of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s nominations hearings, Senator Patrick Leahy asked Judge Kavanaugh about privacy and government surveillance. (6:20) Senator Leahy stated “In your concurrence in Klayman v. Obama you went out of your way to say that not only is the dragnet collection of American’s telephone records by the NSA okay because it’s ‘not a search,’ you also said that ‘even if it is a search, it is justified in order to prevent terrorism.'” Senator Leahy pointed out that the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board found that…

If You Are Concerned About Government Surveillance, You Should Be Skeptical of Brett Kavanaugh

By

Washington Examiner September 7, 2018 New technology offers new modes of government surveillance. Today, the collection of telephone metadata, thermal imaging, and GPS tracking, among others, are all real threats to the privacy of American citizens. Given that the applications of these capabilities as a governmental tool for monitoring citizens have already come before the Supreme Court, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, if confirmed, will likely make similar decisions. Americans who value their privacy and civil liberties should study his paper trail on Fourth Amendment cases. What they will find is a troubling record that points to a judge who is…
