A decade? Please, they've been stomping on that tired, and too old for its worth document for hundreds of years now. It's just as outdated as our laws on technology.
That aside, I don't think you realize what you're saying, even though I pointed it out earlier. Let me make it easier for you using a recent example. In Alabama there was a guy who killed a bus driver and kidnapped a child and held him hostage. After a while authorities charged in the area he was holding the kid and killed the fella, safely extracting the kid. What part of that involved "due process" of the law? None of it, not one bit of it. I guess that was just evil huh, a real government conspiracy to rid the States of people? Probably would have been better off waiting it out, letting the guy make his move, potentially killing the kid and detonating bombs, in an attempt to create your optimal scenario of this man wasting my hard earned money in our farce of a rehabilitation facility called prison. What the hell is one kid when "due process" is at stake, amirite?
On the topic of your love for tired, out of date documents, let me point out your flaw in thinking it's the end all be all of law; it's not and there never was a time in which it was. There are many, many actions a citizen can take to remove them from the document's "protections". Case-in-point, the Alabama event, that guy was no longer under protection the moment he committed an act that was deemed a breach of public security. The law abiding and innocent always take precedent over those not abiding, always. You can't have your cake and eat it too, it's just not possible, not here, not anywhere.
Anyway, you're totally blowing everything out of proportion as it is, since you're more interested in listening to idiots than thinking for yourself. I'm as cynic as they come, but I've read the documents, I've kept up with what the idea is here. I don't like it, I don't like it one bit. That said, I know what the papers read and what the idea behind these statements are. We're not going to be attacking people with them based on allegations and "oh hai uz guyz Jon iz mak bumbs in hiz gargage lol, o he hat murica 2". Proper investigation will commence, as it always has (for better or worse). This isn't a little boy getting a new toy and wanting to try it out on anyone and everything, no, it's just another tool to add to an arsenal in attempt to take a human being, a law abiding person, upholding the laws of the country, out of danger. Well, more importantly, it's to prevent them from ever having to encounter danger in the first place as these things are incredible at gathering intel otherwise unattainable. If you think the government is going to spend billions of dollars to find out if you're beating it in the shower before bed at night, you're ridiculous. That said, you should be more worried about your own privacy than these being "tools of murder".
You know, Ele, I like you and I love how passionate you are about such as this, but it's just so frustrating to see you not taking that extra step to actually finding out things past a YouTube video or an unaccredited source of information. Take that passion to the next level, to hell with USA Today or CNN, go to their sources, dig, find the good stuff and then get upset about the real issues. Justifying your beliefs in quacks is such a damn waste of your passion.
Anyway, I was passed on a clip of something tonight that almost made me tear up and I think you'd like it too, though it doesn't necessarily run on this topic; I just wanted to share it with you.

Why is this even allowed? Where's the due process? Oh wait, Eric Holder claimed that Due Process is not necessarily Judicial Process and that's some real bs.
it's what I did when I heard about the NDAA and was like "that can't be true >.>" and it is according to the specific writing.
