It is time for Law and Order Republicans and National Defense hawks to wake up and see the contradictions.

If you cannot tell your lawyer you have received such, how can you adequately legally represent yourself if it goes to court? and if this part of teh Patriot Act is on trial through Twitter and Goodlge, doesn't that mean they are revealing they have been subject to these types of warrants? Are they fined? What is the punishment for the breach? Jail?
Those who would give up freedom and liberty in favor of security, deserves neither.
I have only read his book "It Is Dangerous To Be Right When The Government Is Wrong." However, I have heard him say on TV, "God given or Natural rights" intimating an allowance depending upon one's preference... hedging his bets... At least he respects and reveres the Constitution. I could live with it.

That is the only book of his I have read also. Here is my book review http://hallingblog.com/book-review-it-is...
His "natural yearnings" argument for Natural Law is nonsense. Here is what I said in my review " I am in complete agreement with the Judge’s emphasis on Natural Law, but he defines it in terms of “essential yearnings.” Someone might have an essential yearning to torture people or kill them. That does not make it a natural right. It is enough to state that people have ownership of their body. The rest of Natural Law and Natural Rights flows from this simple concept. Once I own myself, I clearly own the product of my labor which leads to all of property law, including patents. Criminal law comes from violating my rights in my body or in my property. The “essential yearnings” adds nothing to the concept of Natural Law and Natural Rights."
A very well reasoned critique of the book... I believe the Judge, is, as you have stated, a bit less than firmly founded on the origin of rights, but he comes to proper end regardless of means. I wonder if what he states in this regard is a bit of placation or thorough contemplation.
In regard to his error relative to fractional banking, I agree, but can forgive this since he is a judge and not an economist, yet seems imminently reasonable, rational and educable.
Regardless, we could and certainly have done worse.
Now for something completely different: Have you and K had your power restored? You must have by now... No? It is just after midnight here, I know where you are approximately. I am enjoying some Cabo Wabo Reposado :) and thinking of you... It has been a fine evening.
I hope you both have had one too.

We have tried a lot of tequila here, but never the Cabo Wabo.
Good to hear.
I met Sammy Hagar when he was involved with the Cabo brand. A good friend (guitar tech) was working for him and regularly went to Cabo for his shows there with Michael Anthony. That was when I got my hands on my first bottle of Reposado as a gift. Reasonably priced and tasty... not really fond of the Blanco, but all the aged varieties are worth a try.
Salud!
