What A Surprise! Obama’s AG choice: Regulate Internet communication »
Posted By pc25 1 year ago in NewsDanny Glover at Eyeblast reveals a nine-year-old NPR interview with Eric Holder regarding how the government needs to regulate Internet communications. The rumored front-runner for Attorney General told NPR that the Columbine killers may have found some of their venom through Internet access, as well as a bomb recipe or two. If the government can regulate pornography, Holder insisted while serving as Deputy AG during the Clinton administration, surely the government can restrict speech in general:

pardon me, but I’m looking at the First Amendment (in my official Robert Byrd Pocket Constitution, natch), and I’m a bit confused. Where in this statement does it say that the government has the authority to impose “reasonable restrictions” on speech?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. -

We apparently will have an incoming administration blissfully ignorant of the Constitution they will swear to defend. Barack Obama couldn’t articulate a coherent statement on gun rights despite his supposed status as a Constitutional scholar, Joe Biden couldn’t figure out what Article I actually establishes, and now Eric Holder hasn’t read the First Amendment. Maybe we should pass out more of those Robert Byrd Pocket Constitutions during the transition, and hold a test before Inauguration Day. -

Where have you folks been? We have already lost any rights we had that would have stopped them. Starting with recent events, the American people told Congress, loudly, NO Bailout. They changed the name, added more costs, and passed it. Getting on a plane? I've been searched, put in the puffer machine, taken off half my clothes, and if you complain, you get taken away under arrest. They can and do listen to your phone calls, email. Camaras everywhere with face recognition. No-knock warrants, they don't even verify the address sometimes. Traffic check points with random searches, show your papers.

We have totally lost property rights to emminent domain, lost protections against unreasonable search and seizure, lost the right to privacy. Free speech? Only if you don't say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person.

FTAAnyone want to guess what form those “reasonable restrictions” might be? Perhaps, say, regulating content in the blogosphere? I’m guessing that will be Target One for the Holder-run DoJ. -

But it looks like some on this thread have not gotten the moral of the tale- FASCISM IS A BIPARTISAN EFFORT!!!
Get past cheering for your favorite team, and you can see that erosion of constitutional civil liberties has been advanced by both democrat and republican administrations. Clinton's anti-terrorism legislation criminalizing freedom of association was the camel's nose under the tent. Bush, of course, made great strides towards invalidating the constitution by a variety of means including the PATRIOT Act and the legitimization of torture and coerced confessions.
So it looks like Obama is continuing down the same road. Anyone surprised? Why? Free speech and other human rights are inconvenient to government, regardless of which party sits in the white house. -
