Shocking Signs of Democracy on the Federal Bench

[Your Humble Scribe has some weird version of Da Flu this week, and is correspondingly not very fun.  So I'm just going to plant the seed on this one, and let you do the research.  "Bear with, Bear with...".]

France-24 this morning, and no doubt all the reliable, dedicated 1st Amendment lovers on your local and Network Stations, report that a Federal Judge described the NSA's information-trawling as unconstitutional, and its scope as "almost Orwellian".

We await President Spineless's decree that all the NSA's highly-paid computer nerds will be transferred to giving us all Health Care....

P.S. Spineless sent me a 3-dimensional Christmas Card this week, signed by his dogs. I'm not kidding.
