You've Got Mail!

The idea that the federal government sweeps up all the email it can for supercomputers to sift through is one thing. News that in a signing statement the Tyrant assumes the power to open people's regular physical mail delivered through the US Postal Service (without their knowledge, and without a warrant) whenever he likes, is something else. Those who've been arguing that the Tyrant's attack on terror only affects terrorists should start listening to critics who point to the automatically escalating nature of such measures. We're rapidly raising police state territory, which we're going to enter unless a lot more people start yelling "STOP" pretty darn soon.
