And in other news, the trains will run on time
Seems the NYPD, led by a Deputy Commissioner who happens to be ex-CIA, wants to eliminate that whole pesky First Amendment protection thing. Specificially the bit about actually investigating criminal activity and expanding its scope to investigate anyone - most specifically, anyone who happens to disagree with the current Regime.

The hearing's today. I am not confident that Handschu will stand. I am not convinced that this hearing taking place the day after Shrub's warmongering "forget the state of the Union, let's kill those bastards" speech is a coincidence. Of course, I got to see people arrested for "conspiracy" based on the fact that they were wielding cellphones, so my assessment on the health of the Constitution isn't great.
If you're in NYC, and have your afternoon free, you might want to stop by. Unfortunately it's a bit of a drive for me.
