I absolutely love this latest scandal (Justice Dept caught tracking phone calls of numerous reporters and office of Associated Press)!
Finally, the liberal left-wing Democratic press, who simply love Obama to death and virtually handed him the White House, are stunned at his incompetence and the intentional violations of Freedom of the Press, up close and personal, by Eric Holder and the Justice Department.
"Hey waita-minute. He wasn't suppose to do bad stuff to us. Just those terrible right wing conservatives! What'dya mean the Government was tracking my personal phone calls! I'm a member of the Press. I'm special. This is an outrage!"
I really think that this may be the end of the practical effectiveness of the President and his Administration
Obama has conducted himself as President in exactly the manner that any reasonable person would have expected : A two year junior Senator who never had a real job in his life.
Federal Statute 1984 grants to citizens the right to sue the federal government for actual and punitive damages for violation of their Constitutional rights. I am very hopeful that the Associated Press, and its individual reporters, will sue the crp out of the federal officials and the federal government over this. I sure would. Best of all, it was not accidental. It was intentional! And they will be able to file the suit directly against Holder.
And standing on the sidelines, cheering on the reporters, will be none other than the American Civil Liberties Union.
