Wednesday, 19 June 2013, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - The Ninth Amendment most sincerely regrets yet again in what seems to be but a matter of weeks and indeed even through this log's most recent post to inform readers of reports that President Obama continues to dismiss and oddly appear to believe he is somehow even distanced from continuing reports of blatant Executive Branch (of which he of course is the Chief) encroachments of potentially calamitous historical Constitutional proportions on some of its most sacred and fundamental protections of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Many are perhaps most specifically and extensively set forth with the ratification by a majority of the several states of the Bill of Rights (which of course still in the view of this log known after all as "The Ninth Amendment" has some VERY largely obviously to most anyone who can read English individually protective yet oddly indeed near-completely unexplored, unrecognized, unacknowledged and actually effectively ignored provisions which the State in the view of this log can only be said to maintain ludicrously are some sort of vestigial surplusage which would have had to be absolutely uncharacteristically inserted by the Founding Fathers as if they were, say, getting paid by the hour or page.
In any case it was at most some few months ago that the entire editorial board of The New York Times as reported here called for the complete closure of Guantanamo Bay and release of remaining detainees especially in light of some who had now spent about a decade there even AFTER federal judges ORDERED them released and all essentially agreed that many (but not all - those being segregated) posed no threat at all. But Congress refused to provide funding.
Then of course heinous legislation such as the cynically entitled "Patriot Act" survives even in all its admittedly worst provisions thrown in in the dead of night with President Obama's administration actually having had its and other legislation's Bush-era "sunset provisions" not only not left effective but having done so by making these laws destroying the fabric of this country permanent.
And now in the wake of the most recent revelations of the Obama administration's continuation of the NSA's seven-year-old unconstitutional universal surveillance program even as the President and his new century "lethal surveillance teams" and Oval Office direct controlled drone assassinations and murders continue, the New York Times reports on President Obama's shockingly dismal and disingenuous statements in defense of the new surveillance state he oversees, even calling it successful when he well knows that the telephone component in particular produces far less safety-enhancing results.
The Ninth Amendment has as recently indicated here had about as much as it cares to stomach for the moment. Interested readers are encouraged to click to the New York Times editorial link directly below for further details. God Bless America.
