SELF-COUP
A self-coup is a form of coup d’état that occurs when a country’s leader dissolves (disembowels or eviscerates) the national legislature and assumes extraordinary powers.

Warrantless eavesdropping by the NSA and/or others constitutes the establishment of Secret Police. Feingold is right to demand this self coup nonsense stops right here.

It augurs well for our in-danger democracy that the recently retired Generals are restless that governmental policy should receive an open hearing, not be decided by a cabal of George, Dick, Rummy and god’s will.

Anyone who believes the Rabid Right has any scruples about using illegally gathered information to pinpoint and harass political opponents is deluded. They are determined to establish a police state to protect their wealth and power and to stifle all dissent. Freedom of speech has become a thing of the past. Unless they are stopped, they will strip us of all our rights and freedom itself.

Why does this surprize anyone?  The second shoe is the private information industry that continually fishes for small bits of information including your political preferences.

Adolph Hitler confiscated guns once he had the list.  Bush will only confiscate Computers.  Adolph arrested jews.  Cheney will arrest democrats.  Since American’s cannot be enslaved, Bush will allow the illegals to be enslaved, and the democrats will starve.
