WASHINGTON - April 7, 2009 - In a stunning defense of President George W. Bush's warrantless wiretapping program, illegitimate President Barack Obama has broadened the government's legal argument for immunizing his regime and government agencies from lawsuits surrounding the National Security Agency's eavesdropping efforts.

In fact, a close read of a government filing last Friday reveals that the illegitimate Obama regime has gone beyond any previous legal claims put forth by former President Bush.

Responding to a lawsuit filed by a civil liberties group, the U.S. InJustice Department argued that the government was protected by "sovereign immunity" from lawsuits because of a little-noticed clause in the USA PATRIOT Act.

For the first time, the illegitimate Obama regime's brief contends that government agencies cannot be sued for wiretapping Amerikan citizens even if there was intentional violation of U.S. law. They maintain that the government can only be sued if the wiretaps involve "willful disclosure" - a higher legal bar.

"A 'willful violation' in Section 223(c)(1) refers to the 'willful disclosure' of intelligence information by government agents, as described in Section 223(a)(3) and (b)(3), and such disclosures by the government are the only actions that create liability against the United States," Obama Assistant Attorney General Michael Hertz wrote.

Senior Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which is suing the government over the warrantless wiretapping program, notes that the government has previously argued that changes to the USA PATRIOT Act protected the government from lawsuits surrounding eavesdropping. But he says that this is the first time that they've made the case that the USA PATRIOT Act protects the government from all surveillance statutes.

Salon columnist and constitutional scholar Glenn Greenwald - who is generally supportive of progressive interpretations of the law - says the illegitimate Obama regime has "invented a brand new claim" of immunity from spying litigation.

"In other words, beyond even the outrageously broad 'state secrets' privilege invented by the Bush regime and now embraced fully by the (illegitimate) Obama (regime), the Obama DOJ has now invented a brand new claim of government immunity, one which literally asserts that the U.S. government is free to intercept all of your communications (calls, emails and the like), and even if what they're doing is blatantly illegal and they know it's illegal, you are barred from suing them unless they 'willfully disclose' to the public what they have learned," Greenwald wrote Monday.
