High court: warrant needed for GPS tracking

[seeker_two]

Great! Now that that's settled all we need is to declare the Federal "War" on drugs unconstitutional as well as all actions associated with it, repeal the Patriot Act, repeal subsection 1021 of the 2012 NDAA, block bills like SOPA and PIPA from passing, kill the TSA and DHS, fix or eliminate our broken Ponzi scheme entitlement programs, close down at least half of the 900 military bases in most of the 148 foreign countries we currently have troops in, get out of the current wars the American people have no interest in fighting, tell the Military-Industrial complex to shove it on future wars-for-profit, secure our borders, gain energy independence, place bailout banksters and politicians on trial, regain monetary sovereignty, replace the Federal Reserve notes with debt-free money, revoke the Federal Reserve's charter all together, completely reform the tax code, get rid of at least 90% of the bureaucracy and redundant regulations that stifle entrepreneurs, return manufacturing to US soil, create a more transparent electoral system, format Government and reinstall the Constitution.

Edit: oh *expletive deleted*, the welfare programs...

Don't forget NFA'34 & GCA'68......

Don't get too excited. You know what they say, if it seems too good to be true... www.scotusblog.com/2012/01/reactions-to-jones-v-united-states-the-government-fared-much-better-than-everyone-realizes/

Just as a side note... after talking to people "in my age group" about the economy and job market, I'm not convinced you'd be able to FILL those manufacturing jobs with Americans.

There seems to be this pervasive attitude that manual labor, manufacturing, and service jobs are "beneath" them.  A friend and I were discussing what we would do if we suddenly lost our contracts.

My answer was "go to one of those websites with all the South Texas /Dakota/wherever oil field jobs and carry heavy things for money until I could get another IT job."

His answer was unemployment and food stamps :-(

I think my answer would be very similar to yours fitz, the nice thing is, due to our generation being a bunch of wimps, those "carry heavy things" jobs actually pay more than they used to :)

A lot of those jobs aren't as "unskilled" as you might think...

Try getting a job in a coal mine these days.  The mine here doesn't accept applications from anyone without previous underground experience, except for some technical jobs like electrician, etc.

I'm getting a little old for that and have a bad back (which hasn't given me any problems in almost a year; hope I didn't just jinx it.)  I tell people I'll get a job driving a garbage truck.  No hope that I'll ever get back into IT even tho' I'm a top performer at a prestigious big computer company -- too old.  But that's OK, I'll be like the garbageman in the Dilbert cartoons :)

Not me - too old, and bad knees and back.

I worked construction again part time for a while 2009-10 and it about killed me. 

But I do pretty good arranging Zeroes and Ones, when the work is available.

Gee, the Supreme Court does something right.  Some people are concerned about "Big Brother" and GPS tracking is among the core issues of that concern.
