-Caveat Lector- From: http://www.boortz.com/nealznuz.htm THE LATEST ATTACK ON THE FOURTH AMENDMENT Back in May, we told you about the Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act, which contained language that would have authorized federal agents to enter a citizen's home or office with a warrant, seize evidence, and copy files from his computer--all without having to tell him what items were taken until months afterwards. The measure was pulled from the bill after members of the House Judiciary Committee, including Sheila Jackson-Lee of Texas and Bob Barr of Georgia, protested. They're baaaaaaaaack. Enter the Fugitive Apprehension Act, Senate Bill S.2516. Section 3(g) authorizes the attorney general to issue "administrative subpoenas" for personal information and records without court authorization. Department of Justice attorneys would also be allowed to ask the court to conceal the subpoena from the target of the investigation. Translation: Federal law enforcement agencies are trying to cut the courts out of the warrant-issuing process completely. If this legislation passes, judges won't be the ones issuing the warrants. The attorney general will. The bill has already passed the Senate. And it could be brought to a vote in the House as early as this week. Even if House leaders don't allow the bill to be brought up for a vote, it could get inserted into an appropriations bill that needs to be passed before Congress adjourns for the November elections. Then, in order to defeat the measure, the entire spending bill would have to be voted down. I hope you realize how scary this piece of legislation is. Your Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches and seizures don't matter to the federal government. They want to have the power to grant their own search warrants for whatever reason they choose. Or no reason at all. All they'd have to do is go to the attorney general to get a warrant. And given Janet Reno's history of kowtowing to Bill Clinton's every demand, that's pretty damned frightening. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_poole_news/20001011_xnpol_senate_bil.sh tml ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
