The Whole Delivery

It certainly sure does : A sharply divided federal appeals court on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit involving the Central Intelligence Agency’s practice of seizing terrorism suspects and transferring them to other countries for imprisonment and interrogation. The ruling handed a major victory to the Obama administration in its effort to advance a sweeping view of executive secrecy power This case was based off the ACLU's successful win from a 3-judge ruling from the 9th Circuit against the Obama DOJ trying to preserve the power of the executive branch of government willingly bringing the law in the "all that is holy National Security", a move candidate Obama vehemently criticized the Bush Administration from doing.

The vote suppression movement is running deep in this country now. From the assiduous Zachary Roth : Add the Obama campaign to the growing list of players who think that DOJ's election-eve investigation into ACORN is a repeat of the politicization of the department that we saw in the US attorney firings scandal. "With this voter fraud [investigation], we're seeing an unholy alliance of law enforcement and the ugliest form of partisan politics," Bob Bauer, an elections lawyer with the Obama camp, said on a conference call with reporters just now. Bauer compared the decision to launch the investigation with the US attorneys scandal, in which ...
