It seems clear that a series of laws recently passed by Congress are un-constitutional. Chris Hedges reports on a court hearing in a lawsuit by him and others challenging the constitutionality of laws designed to crack down on government whistle blowers. The Obama Administration has been quite energetic in prosecuting whistle blowers. These whistle blowers have been intimidated into remaining silent when they should have felt free to report on any corruption, according to Hedges. Read more at the linked artcle.
Whatever the facts, it seems clear Obama did not keep his promise regarding a return to Constitutional government. At least that is the picture that is developing.
Chris Hedges is to be congratulated for his courage in challenging these very dubious laws.
