Chuck and Elizabeth, the President both has the power and the time, through the vast bureaucracy he has authority over. It's his responsibility to lead. I'm sorry to hear that you don't think Barack Obama ought to follow the law. All it takes is for him make a decision, and to keep his promise to restore the proper role of science in government.

Thanks, David, for bringing us a voice of science and reason to confront the industry PR.

Um, Cena, I'm not a Republican. Never have been. Furthermore, the articles I have linked to have links to firsthand sources, and one includes an original statement by Obama.

Cena, if you could actually respond to the SUBSTANCE of the article, that would be useful.

FISA Amendments - Any American May Have His Electronic Communications Monitored by Col. George W.

What you say in your title has now been confirmed by 2 military linguists and by a former employee of the National Security Agency who have worked with this spy program.

Sadly for this progressive to note, BARACK OBAMA now says that he will continue this spy program as President! His Attorney General and Director of National Intelligence confirm it.

Why are Democrats not up in arms about this? Do they not care whether the Constitution is violated, just so long as it's their guy doing it?

Karl, I'm not a right wing Republican. I'm a progressive, but I'm not partisan, and the willingness of Democrats to put their heads in the sand about this serious problem is an example of the dangers of political faith.

Kirsten Gillibrand to fill Hillary Clinton Senate Seat by David K.

This Upstate New Yorker doesn't regard Kirsten Gillibrand well at all. She tends to be aloof from her constituents, owes her power to insider dealing, based originally on her father's power as a lobbyist for military contractors, and she's in favor of a huge number of Republican policies, including George W. Bush's program to spy on Americans' private electronic communications, which she endorsed by voting for the FISA Amendments Act. Kirsten Gillibrand doesn't reflect New York State's values - she's the kind of Democrat you'd expect to see in a place like Alabama or Wyoming. That's why Gillibrand already has Democratic challengers for her Senate re-election campaign in 2010.

It makes Watergate look like tater tots. Essentially, what's happened is that the White House, instead of just breaking into a single office, broke into every private home and business in America, and instead of Congress blowing the whistle, Congress helped to cover it up.

A Message to the Obama Critics and Naysayers by Carla G.

Carla, here's why I'm criticizing Obama:

First, because he's taking actions NOW, even before he becomes President.

Second, because he's about to become the most powerful person on the face of the Earth - and a person like that always needs to be exposed to a critical view.

Neale Donald Walsch's Memo to Obama: "It's a Spiritual Problem" by Carla G.

Oh dear me. Have you heard what's happened with Neale Donald Walsch? He's just been caught plagiarizing the work of another writer, and claiming not just that he wrote the words, but that the story behind the copyrighted work actually happened to him. Walsch has been forced to admit that he ripped off author Candy Chand. I'm not sure that Neale Donald Walsch is the best person to lecture anyone on "redefining self interest".

James, I think that part of what you're suggesting - implicit in your writing at least - is that the underlying problem is the nationalism of Israelis and Palestinians, their identification as separate peoples who must remain distinct from each other. Would you agree with that?

Washington and Lincoln Support Keeping Religion Out of the Inauguration by J. Clifford C.

It is worth noting, however, that as a Senator, Barack Obama helped Bush erode the Constitution, voting in favor of the FISA Amendments Act, for example.

No, Carla, I can't compare that IN EXTENT, but yes, I can compare the two IN CHARACTER. Bush has had eight years in office as President. Obama hasn't. However, this is a very bad start to the Obama Administration, and one that takes away a measure of the good will he had earned. What comes after that, I can't judge yet, because it hasn't happened yet.

What Rick Warren Would Say To Obama Liberals, If He Were Honest by J. Clifford C.

Dame Ruth, I make no argument against the idea that I'm a bit dopey. No offense taken. Thanks for speaking up with your own ideas on this important subject.

LittleMissSunshine, I've read a great deal of what Rick Warren has to say, and the more I read, the more he strikes me as a power-hungry man who uses his church to gain attention for himself. Rick Warren sponsors some very ugly and outdated ideas, and I would not categorize him at all as a "great guy".

Carla, just as police officers can break the law, so constitutional lawyers are capable of violating the Constitution. Furthermore the Inauguration is a part of the Obama Administration. It is the first act of the Obama Administration, and a statement of the tone that the presidency will take.

I do not agree that it is a small matter when the President of the United States decides that he can disregard the Constitution when it is politically convenient to do so. Adherence to the Constitution must be absolute, or else the Constitution takes on the status of a mere guideline, instead of the highest law of the land. We just suffered 8 years under a President who disrespected the Constitution. We need to make sure that Obama does not go down that path - a path that is tempting to all presidents - Democrat or Republican.

Marilyn, we all have the right to practice religion as we see fit or not fit - AS INDIVIDUALS. No one has the right to use the power of government to support religion. That's the difference. Barack Obama is using the power of government to support religion in general, and Christian religion over non-Christian religion. It's blatantly unconstitutional - and therefore illegal. That's a bad start to any presidency, Democrat or Republican.

This ought to bother religious Americans as much as it bothers non-religious Americans. Having the President make decisions about which religious denominations are politically correct enough to be included in government events, and which religious denominations will be excluded, is damaging to the free expression of religion.

Carla, you're completely ignoring what the Constitution actually says. It doesn't say, "There shall be as much of a religious test for public office as makes people happy." It says, "There shall be NO religious test for public office.

Do you support the Constitution, Carla, or not? Do you only think that the Constitution should be enforced when it makes people happy?

Are you happy with Rick Warren and his radical agenda, Carla? Are you happy with the way that Rick Warren says that women are inferior beings who must be submissive to men? Does that make you happy?

Your comment, Carla, manages to avoid any of the actual content of the matter. You might as well say about Hitler that he made some people happy and some people unhappy. It's not a valid argument.

Why, Carla? Well, if you had one Nazi and one Jew in the Inauguration, would that be balance, Carla?

Do you realize, Carla, that Rick Warren says that you are as inferior to a man as a church is to God?

What about the claim that only someone who believes in God should be allowed to be President? What about the mixing of church and state? That's not balanced by Lowery. It's made worse by Lowery's involvement.

Why do we have to complain when the incoming President of the United States violates the Constitution? Carla, I hope you can understand why it's a problem. I complained when Bush violated the Constitution, and I'll do the same when Obama does it.

With the choice of Rick Warren, the Obama honeymoon is over.
