I'm guessing that didn't come out until after.<br />Sorry, very difficult to focus with that incredible disaster in the news. It's the same logic by which the liberals will congratulate themselves upon stealing an election through voter fraud, 'in the name of a better public discussion'.<br />It's just insane that this is coming from Holder, being that he was on duty when this transpired. If it was such a public service, why didn't he do it himself... or maybe he did? If he felt so strongly, why didn't Obama unilaterally declassify that information? He's got carte blanche authority of it.<br /><br />There is *nothing* in Snowden's information that remotely compares to the usurpation of our rights as voters to decide who has the authority to declassify material. We chose Obama (terrible mistake imo, but we chose him nonetheless) not Snowden, and certainly not Holder. I guard our voting rights jealously, and undermining those should result in a fate worse the any violent crime.<br /><br />Now we need two bullets to resolve this disaster.<br /><br />- reader #1482Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-62026228936644309212016-05-30T16:41:47.652-04:002016-05-30T16:41:47.652-04:00Or, as things coalesce, new divisions will appear?...Or, as things coalesce, new divisions will appear?Kephahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04339858783581889568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-26038943560973687672016-05-30T14:33:36.832-04:002016-05-30T14:33:36.832-04:00I wrote this comment and then realized that it nee...I wrote this comment and then realized that it needed a fuller explanation.

Man is a social animal, so civil rights exist. Each society has its own; they are rightly the subject of debate, and change over time; they are partly a matter of custom, partly a matter of law. (Except perhaps in an over-lawyered country, where the importance of custom and convention might be denied.) But the notion that one has right simply by virtue of being human is deeply damaging to a civilised order. <br /><br />The deal with civil rights is easy. For example, I have a right to property. To my countrymen falls the duty of joining me in defending that civil right, just as the duty falls on me to defend my countrymen's civil rights.<br /><br />But on whom falls the duty of defending human rights? No one, of course, because the very idea is intellectually vacuous.deariemenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400985529434569506.post-75324326752027760812016-05-30T11:38:06.844-04:002016-05-30T11:38:06.844-04:00Concur Brer Anon. . .

Maybe it's because in the US many of us are so aware that we stand on the cusp of either a new era of renewal of our republic, or of losing everything.
