As Bob Barr writes on his blog, the Obama administration is interested in tracking your cell phone records: “In arguments earlier this month before a federal appeals court in Philadelphia, lawyers for President Barack Obama made the case that the government should be able to easily track the location of cell phone users without first securing a warrant. In making this argument, the Obama Administration mimics the position taken by its predecessor.”
Wait, that can’t be right. The same administration that has been conducting a CIA witch hunt and doing all it can to disgrace Bush administration officials guilty of illegal wiretaps and information gathering techniques is now pushing to track the location of your cell phone? And where is the liberal uproar? It’s hard to argue that George Bush looking up your library records is more of an infringement on personal rights than the Obama administration having full access to your cell phone records.
