Why is Obama re-introducing the appointment of pro-terrorist advocate

[Susiepolls2008]

Dawn Johnsen on the heels of an attack? Here's why I think the Johnsen nomination should be derailed. Over the next four to eight years, the Justice Department will repeatedly be asked to advise on the legality of programs and measures designed to combat terrorism. It is important that the individuals providing this advice not err on the side of nixing these programs and measures. Otherwise, innocent lives probably will be lost and terrorists may well regain their momentum (recall, for example, that the Reno Justice Department nixed plans to take out Osama bin Laden).

There is strong reason to believe that Dawn Johnsen will consistently err on the side of protecting terrorists and denying the president the power to protect the nation. This fear is not based solely on her blogging; it also stems from her law review articles and, to a lesser extent, statements she has made or declined to make during the confirmation process.

For example, Johnsen has objected to warrantless surveillance of suspected al-Qaeda communications into and out of the United States

As well she should. It is relatively easy to obtain a warrant from a federal court, it can be done in a sealed courtroom so intelligence and evidence can be kept secret, and it can even be done after the fact.

The only reason the government would want warrantless wiretaps is so that no one can keep track of who they are tapping.

Obama's allegiance is first to Muslims. He stated he would stand with the Muslims in his book. His own Attorney General worked for the law firm that provided legal defense for terrorists. He is surrounded by these people.

Watch what he does, not what he says. Remember the election promises? That should be your first clue.

He is systematically destroying the country - this is just one step.

 

[GOP PURITY]

I don't want Obama to use the domestic spying our President Bush used either! Do YOU want Obama to use illegal wiretaps to spy on YOU?

Vote TEA PARTY PATRIOTS.

zaza, false talking point. Obama said he would stand with ARAB-AMERICANS if they were to be wrongly persecuted.

Don't listen to GOP chain e-mails or false talking points. They are liars. They are even trying to take over the TEA PARTY PATRIOT movement with GOP PACS and the GOP shell "Tea Party Express" FRAUD. They have been stealing PATRIOTS money and email lists! Don't be duped by those liars. Vote GOP incumbents out in the primaries so we can go into the general election with TEA PARTY PATRIOT candidates. ALWAYS fact check GOP chain emails and talking points.
