Yeah, I don't get that at all. Seems more of an opportunity to grandstand than to honor MLK.KCConservative said:A Martin Luther King speech on wiretapping? Ooookay. :roll:

Kandahar said:Bob Barr joined the ACLU after he retired and has been active protecting civil liberties and privacy rights. He's not as right-wing as a lot of people think.
“We are at a point of constitutional crisis,... The president who has violated the law is acting above the law. It’s a wakeup call for Congress, the American people and the courts. If we continue down this road we will have a different constitution.
According to the blogger, the aide that provided the details noted that Gore prepares the final editions of his speeches just before he delivers them, but that the tenor of the speech "would focus on what...[he] described as a President acting above the law".

"We're talking about infringement of privacy, and even of the very Constitution itself, which I fear is being heavily violated by a system like Echelon. Our administration of justice act is also endangered. Spying on American citizens across a wide front is out of line. The law simply forbids it, and I'm afraid that that is exactly what is happening."
"We simply must find out what the NSA is doing with these global surveillance systems. Whether it takes open or closed hearings or in the way in which the NSA prepares some of its reports. But as a representative of the people, we politicians must be able to assure the people that all these initiatives are obeying the law. And I really hope that the NSA will not exploit American law to keep silent."

From the details of a speech that Al Gore is expected to give on Monday at Constitution Hall in DC:
Lets see, Gore was VP when? Oh, yeah, when the Clinton administration was doing what? For the answers, see the previous post...
