Those lawsuits work only short term
Unlike traditional warrants, administrative subpoenas do not require approval from a judge before they are issued.
Remember 9/11. Never forget, right?
This is where the creation of a department to "secure" our "homeland", and laws like the "patriot" act where always going to lead. This is where selling off your rights and freedoms for a false sense of security was always going to lead.
Don't worry, it'll get much worse.
But they're making us safer Jo! Don't you know that when the TSA scans your genitalia when you fly to grandmas it makes us all safer. What do you want? You want the terrorists to win?

My firm helps keep a good percentage of this country's shitty infrastructure from collapsing and the budgets these projects are working under are laughable. But that's ok. I sleep better at night knowing we're spending all our money on Palantir instead.
Look, if we fix the bridges, roads, ATC towers, staff them, nationalize the toll roads, inspect the gas pipelines, replace the lead pipes, reform the corn subsidies, schools, fire stations, rural hospitals, nursing shortage, elder care, vaccine crisis, citizens united, dark money, and pedophile ring then what will the Democrats run on next year huh?
With the Buc-ee's avatar I'm assuming you're around TX. Holy shit, I used to weld in the oil patch. I tell you what. You've never seen crumbling infra until you've watch em hook up a 2 million dollar primary stage HRSG to a pipe that got laid in 1922... It was literally leaking out of the pores of the pipe.
Modernizing the electric grid and fast tracking the development and adoption of sources of clean energy?
Nah! That's crazy talk. It's not like other countries like – I dunno – China, have done that recently.
The people in charge are the same group that pulled solar panels off the roof of the White House in 1986. This has been going on a long time.
I mean, that's been on the platform for over a decade. Not a lot has come of it. If they'd actually built up any of this into the power grid, it wouldn't be something the right wing oil and gas lobbyists could politicize.
Quickest way to kill your app, service, site, instance
administrative subpoenas do not require approval from a judge before they are issued
WTF is the point of warrants if we just don't need them?
You've got to love the patriot act
