ACLU Sues FBI Over ISP Records 663
An anonymous reader writes "One of the provisions of the infamous USA PATRIOT Act is the ability for the government to force companies that hold personal information, specifically in this case, ISPs, to turn over their records without a court order. MSNBC is reporting about a lawsuit filed by the ACLU in secret because of another provision in PATRIOT that prevents public disclosure of these matters. The gag order was dropped when the Justice Department agreed to not take any action against the ACLU."

Yeah, it would really suck if he didn't invade a country that never posed any threat to us. I mean, lying about WMD and sending hundreds of soldiers off to die is one thing, but lying about getting a blowjob? That's just sick.

No joke, I don't think we should have even given women the right to vote. But good Lord, now they want control of their bodies! Who do they think they are?

This reminds me of a bumper sticker I saw a few months back: "Clinton screwed an intern, Bush screwed the whole country."
