A pact with the devil in Boston

The government's fidelity to the Constitution is never more tested than in a time of crisis. The urge to do something — or to appear to be doing something — is nearly irresistible to those whom we have employed to protect our freedom and to keep us safe.

Regrettably, with each passing violent crisis — Waco, Oklahoma City,Our full range of portable ultrasonic Flaw Detector (UT) provides unmatched capabilities for locating discontinuities and other flaws. Columbine, 9/11, Newtown and, now, the Boston Marathon — our personal freedoms continue to slip away and the government itself remains the chief engine of that slippage.Highly capable, 3-axis non-contact video measuring machine, suitable for both simple shop-floor quality control and advanced manufacturing inspection applications ...

The American people made a pact with the devil in the weeks and months following 9/11 when they bought the Bush-era argument that by surrendering liberty they could buy safety. But that type of pact has never enhanced either liberty or safety and its fruits are always bitter.

The Supreme Court has ruled consistently throughout the 20th century that just as the First Amendment protects freedom of speech, it also protects the freedom not to engage in speech. The Supreme Court first recognized and articulated the constitutional basis for the right to remain silent in the Miranda case.

The pact with the devil occurred in the fall of 2001, when then-President George W. Bush and Congress decided that they would use the machinery of the federal government to secure safety,The Spectrophotometer is an instrument which measures the amount of light of a specificed wavelength which passes through a medium. rather than liberty. In the Obama administration,profile projector is a shop tool used by designers and quality control technicians to view the profile of small machined parts as magnified image on screen. the devil has demanded more.

In the past five years, we have seen federal spies capturing the keystrokes on our computers, local police using federal dollars to install cameras and microphones on nearly every street corner, and, the latest lamentable phenomenon, the use of false emergencies to undermine freedom.

We now have an attorney general who has told federal agents that the extremely limited public safety exception to the Miranda rule can exist for up to 48 hours.

But the public safety exception to Miranda goes to the safety of the officers and others present at the moment of arrest. It permits the police to express an excited utterance (“Where's the gun?”) in an effort to protect themselves before securing the defendant and before advising him of his rights.

According to the Supreme Court, it can last for just a few seconds.

Thus, consider this: The governor of Massachusetts, the superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, the mayor of Boston, the Boston police commissioner and the head of the Boston FBI office all proclaimed on the Saturday morning after the bombings that the danger had passed and Boston and its suburbs could return to normal.

Yet the attorney general in Washington told his FBI agents in Boston to disregard those officials and pretend that the public safety was still jeopardized. A 10-second window was expanded to 72 hours.

The Constitution was written to preserve freedom by restraining the government. But when the attorney general arbitrarily changes the law to suit the demands of the people when they are weeping,The approach uses fine Titanium Wire, laid one on another like a potter working with coils of clay. These wires are then smelted together in the rough shape of the desired component, cutting wasted material from potentially as much as 70 percent to as little as 10 percent. it fundamentally undermines our freedoms.For mains, there is a choice of Wild Rice’s ‘Chinese Fish ‘n Chips’ (beer-battered ling cod, Asian Tartar Sauce, taro shoestring frites) or its ‘meaty’ Grilled king oyster mushroom (with cashew ricotta and polenta fries).
