According to a recent CNN Poll there is a staggering footnote (page #5).   61% of Americans disapprove of how Obama handles government surveillance of U.S. citizens.  At George W Bush’s worst he was not even close to that number.

Given the shere magnitude of how the media portrayed Bush/Cheney during their administration – the comparative results show how out of touch the current administration and current legacy media is from the ordinary patriot.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Tomorrow a rather dapper, and well regarded chap, will be seated in the courtroom gallery.   I promised I’d try to grab his pic in a screenshot.   This should be fun.

From what I’m told the odds of winning the gallery lotto appeared to be 1:1 with fewer requests than seats for attendees.   Our super sleuth  is on Stealth Treeper Assignment –  and armed with all the latest NSA approved gadgetry he’ll be conducting super secret surveillance –    😉

So tomorrow the first Treeper to identify our pal will receive a Breitbart Avatar Award – and a one hour supply of boiled peanuts and pork rinds.   Think of it like a “where’s Waldo”.

(Bonus peanuts if you name him 😉 )

The Supreme Court threw out the Arizona law that requires people to prove they are US citizens before registering to vote.

The AP reported: The Supreme Court ruled Monday that states cannot require would-be voters to prove they are U.S. citizens before using a federal registration system designed to make signing up easier.

Last Friday CBS News confirmed that Sharyl Attkisson’s computer was hacked by “an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions.”  Today she reveals they have identified who did it:

There are multifaceted looks at what to do next… Let me just say, whoever did it, to come into a private citizen’s home, whether I’m a journalist or not, and look in my family’s computer and look into my work computer… Well, it’s outrageous.”
