On Wednesday, by a vote of 80-15, the United State Senate killed the Constitution of the United States by legalizing warrantless wiretapping.

The Senate vote follows last Friday's 293-129 vote in the House.

Big Brother is watching you. He is listening to every phone call, reading every email, following every click of your browser.

Big Brother has complete power. You have none.

And every institution in Washington DC thinks that is perfectly fine - the President, Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Corporate Media.

Why? Because they think you should be watched, just in case you decide to overthrow Big Brother.

Your tax dollars created Big Brother. Your tax dollars are protecting him. And there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. Or me.

I just thought you'd want to know.

Update 2: Yesterday, Senator Obama said:

My view on FISA has always been that the issue of the phone companies per se is not one that overrides the security interests of the American people.

Change you can believe in? As dday writes,

Obama is totally cool with the precedent of the government giving a slip of paper to a corporation allowing them to break the law. He's cool with the premise of "we were just following orders" that was shot down at Nuremberg being revived. He's cool with if the President does it, then it isn't illegal. He's cool with a bunch of the other really dangerous aspects of the bill, including the vacuuming up of every communication that leaves or enters the United States without even the caveat that they be related to terrorism. He's cool with a national surveillance state.

Just plain cool with it.

Exactly.
