Did
you hear about this?....
"On 17 July, the DoJ served a website-hosting company, DreamHost, with a search warrant for every piece of information it possessed that was related to a website that was used to coordinate protests during Donald Trump’s inauguration. The warrant covers the people who own and operate the site, BUT ALSO SEEKS TO GET THE IP ADDRESSES OF 1.3 MILLION PEOPLE WHO VISITED IT, AS WELL AS THE DATE AND TIME OF THEIR VISIT AND INFORMATION ABOUT WHAT BROWSER OR OPERATING SYSTEM THEY USED."
While I don't support anyone who wants to foment violence, for any reason, going after anyone who even visited the site just smacks of 1930's Germany. What happened to "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer"? Our Department of Justice, who is supposed to be safeguarding our rights, is now violating them. WTH?
Why now? True, Dubya Bush got some extra-special permission (the Patriot Act) to pierce some of our privacy laws after 9-11, but it was in DIRECT RESPONSE to terrorist attacks on our country. But today, who is under "attack"? Donald Trump?
So if someone dares to object to something Prez Trump says, it's now OK to....what? Invade their privacy? Order an IRS audit of them? Prohibit them from getting a student loan, or vote, or suspend their Constitutional Rights?
Somebody who has a better understanding of the law, please tell me this is unconstitutional.
