Wow! DHS actually PAUSED before implementing a monumentally unconstitutional plan for once! Who’da thunk it?

The New York Times article excerpt:

A program to employ spy satellites for certain domestic uses has been postponed because of privacy concerns.

Congress had already provided money for the program, which was to begin this month. But some lawmakers demanded more information about its legal basis and what protections there were to ensure that the government was not peering into the homes of Americans. As a result, the Homeland Security Department is not formally moving ahead with the program until it answers those questions, a department spokesman said.

I realize a lot of news on this blog (and everywhere) is bad news or at least moderately depression-inducing. That’s why I’ve created a new category for the archives. Every time the government does something decent for the American people, even if it’s only a small step in the right direction, I’ll file it and tag it for the world to know. This tag is mixed in with the other tags. See if you can spot it! Freedom lives!
