POPSFrom both sides of his mouth!!!!! This latest move by the administration follows a pattern replicated countless times by Obama since assuming the presidency in January: denounce the lawless behavior of his Oval Office predecessor while continuing, even expanding, the reach of unaccountable security agencies that subvert constitutional guarantees barring "unreasonable searches and seizures."

POPSForget About Gay Marriage...Apparently, We Still Haven't Settled Inter-racial Marriage
On the marriage front, the actions of the judiciary this past week were a mixed bag. In San Francisco, U.S. Dist. Judge Vaughn Walker refused to dismiss a challenge by marriage rights proponents to California's Prop 8, which limits marriage in the state to a union between a man and a woman. This came as welcome news to California's marriage law proponents whose state law challenges to Prop. 8 proved unsuccessful before the California Supreme Court. Ironically, on the very page where this story was reported online, a link appeared, stating that an interracial couple was denied a marriage license in LA. Both articles are worth reading, but the article about the LA case contains quotes by the judge who denied the marriage license. These quotes are shocking in their narrow-mindedness and reek of the same bigotry that the U.S. Supreme Court supposedly put to rest when it outlawed bans against interracial marriage in Loving v. Virginia. I am dismayed by the ability of the

POPSJudge to Prop. 8 backers: Hand over your papers More: Although "voters cannot be asked to explain their votes," Walker said, a ballot measure's authors and strategists can be scrutinized to see what their motives were. He cited a magazine article last year by the heads of the public relations firm that managed the Prop. 8 campaign in which they discussed their strategy, including plans to show how advocates of same-sex marriage would indoctrinate schoolchildren. Walker said the article undermined the campaign's insistence that its strategy discussions were confidential.

POPSGlobal Cooling Wrecking Tourism In NE
From an unfazed Associated Press The tourism season is young, so there are few statistics indicating how it’s going. In Maine, those that are available point to a rough start. In June, traffic was down 3 percent on the Maine Turnpike, and day use at state parks was down by nearly a third. There’s no sugarcoating the bitter pill in a state where "Vacationland" is on the license plates and tourism is the biggest industry, pumping $10 billion into the economy. Vaughn Stinson, chief executive officer of the Maine Tourism Association, put the damage at millions of dollars in Maine alone. "When you have just day after day after day of that, it just really dampens " no pun intended " everyone’s enthusiasm," Stinson said. It’s certainly bad for businesses that had to close. Story Land in Conway, N.H., and Funtown Splashtown USA in Saco are among those that closed briefly. Under sunny skies, Friday marked only the seventh day in two weeks that Aquabaggon news.yahoo.com

POPSBush's Final Act, Legal Defense of Domestic Spying This shows what the Bush admin. is afraid of most, thereby demonstrating that the constitutionality of domestic, warrantless spying does not have firm legal support but was/is probably illegal (unless the 4th amendment has been stricken from the Bill of Rights). Americans, however, should have the same concern about Obama who shows no signs of "change" on domestic spying either: Eric Holder, the incoming U.S. attorney, said the Obama administration supported the spy legislation and would defend it Americans will have no freedom unless the Constitution and our rights are pressed against both the Executive and Congress.

POPSFree Download Four Christmases he holiday movie with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn.” And I’ll respond, “no never heard of it.” As far as I’ll know that will be the truth, because by then I’ll have forgotten this movie exists. Its cliché collection of bland, formula gags will have long since been replaced in my brain by more worthy memories. Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn’s empty, uninteresting characters will have long since vanished from my consciousness.

POPSPlanned Parenthood Fires Abortion Center Staffer Following Undercover Video for refusing to get involved in the situation. Steve Vaughn, director of the department, told the Indiana Daily Student newspaper that the agency will do nothing about the incident since a minor girl was not actually involved. Vaughn told the IDS that, had the situation involved an actual teenager, the department would target the employee for potential prosecution, not Planned Parenthood. Failure to report the crime is a misdemeanor punishable under state law by a maximum of 180 days in jail and a $1,000 fine and the county prosecutor's office could file charges in the case but a Bloomington city official told a newspaper that won't happen. The Bloomington, Indiana Planned Parenthood facility in question is the same business that issued Christmas gift certificates that could be used to pay for abortions.

POPSTelecom Amnesty Illegal "The EFF blasted the retroactive amnesty as a "blatant attempt to prevent this Court—and every other court, federal or state—from deciding whether the carrier defendants conducted dragnet, warrantless surveillance of millions of Americans' communications and communications records in violation of the Constitution and numerous statutes." The government and the telecoms argued in earlier briefs that Congress can tinker with ongoing legislation without violating the Constitution and that citizens should sue the government, not private companies, over the spying."
