Wow, these are a WHOLE lot of accusations and not one name of a specific individual.
If the banks settled out of court, it was because they didn't want to get in front of a jury of 12 guys like me who took a beating in their recession.
Oh, the NSA program? Your boy Bush started that and Right Wingers defended him to the hilt when he did.
I should also point out the private companies are ALREADY spying on our interenet activities...
Bush started Data-mining folks talking to known terrorists and Obama simply expanded it to all Americans.
Countrywide was one of the banks. They settled out of court because it's ether that or pay the bloodsucking lawyers to defend them for the next decade against the federal government.
Private companies usually ask for our permission. The NSA doesn't.
No, they don't. When I type in Obama and I go to the humor website I like to visit and get "Should Obama Be Impeached?" in a banner ad, I didn't ask for that and I didn't give anyone permission to follow my web history.
Countrywide settled because they were as guilty as a cat in a canary cage. They got off easy.
Countrywide didn't settle anything because Countrywide was no longer in existence.
Yet I doubt you can link a single "repressive law" that stopped blacks from voting since the mid-60s. On the other hand I can give you thousands of links proving democraps not only registered dead folks, cartoon characters, and multiple identities for urban blacks to vote illegally. Then there's the "bad timing" of US Military overseas votes (strong GOP) arriving too late to be counted thanks to democRAT tricks. But like ol Saul says, accuse your enemies of what you're doing.
