You are spot on re the Patriot Act.
The provisions are complex, far reaching and unknown to most Americans.
The entanglements with other laws passed by Congress make it difficult to unravel.
President Obama’s reauthorisation of certain aspects in 2011 may be challengeable in appeals court.
Like all knee jerk poorly thought out reactions to a perceived crisis, it is bulky and in many instances it contradicts the constitution.
There is no appetite in Congress to untangle the maze of provisions in the original bill with its subsequent add ons and confusing amendments.
They are, rightly in some cases, being forced out of their comfort zone by the Trump whirlwind and their local constituents’ desire to improve their job prospects and security.
In my own uninformed opinion, the unappointed back room DC bureaucracy have too much power to interpret or enforce provisions as they see fit and damn the consequences.
Any appeals resulting from errors will drag through the courts and will not affect their careers, salaries or pensions.
These are people who will remain embedded regardless of the administration.
When the winds of Trump change calm and disappear to be placed by whomever the anonymous, silent civil servants will still be in control of our lives.
They, more than Trump, are the real bogey men, and women.
REPLACED not placed.
And it’s a good night from me
And when I awake in the morning and look in the mirror
My smile will still be wide as I contemplate what we as a club have and are achieving.
GG,
Are you saying they are the very real right wing entryists as opposed to macjay to macjays reds under the bed fantasies ?
GG
In over a decade of reading your posts…
To summarize… You could teach diplomacy to The French. (That’s a compliment btw)..
You articulated my general concerns, but articulated the details most, frighteningly, have no comprehension of.
Then you signed off positively, as you always do.
RESPECT to you.
Roll on The Celtic Future….. and it will.

Right or left is immaterial.
They are the invisible manipulators only interested in feathering their own nests and guaranteeing their own positions.
The impenetrable Ivy League WASP network which quietly protects Its wealth, political and social influence.
Not that I’m medicated,
To sleep perchance to dream.

Interesting stuff.
Sounds very much like the SWAMP which Trump wants to DRAIN.
25 points clear fellas. Lets all enjoy that.

If we assume Trump really wants to drain the swamp,esp of the Ivy League/Wall St elite,he’s pretty much on to plums.
Not much he can do using Executive Orders,and Congress won’t allow it to pass otherwise.
And he only has four years to do it.
No,they’ll be there long after Trump is merely a memory. Like elites the world over.
From Jacko in Monday’s Record…
“Cathro was on the receiving end again yesterday when he took his Hearts team to Celtic, promising to go ‘toe-to-toe’ with the champions, before leaving with his tail tucked between his legs on the end of a four-goal thrashing.
It was the latest in a line of performances which have made this manager’s bold words appear more like empty rhetoric.
Cathro’s problem is one of public perception and not least among his own team’s support.
Some of them have decided this young coach – who sometimes looks as if he’s sent off to work with a packed lunch from his mum – is already so far out of his depth that he should ask her to sew water wings on to the sleeves of his favourite raincoat.
Hearts fans aren’t looking forward to Scottish Cup derby clash as Tynecastle has been kind to Hibs
His credibility was being called into question from the moment he was appointed and he was not helped by the usual smart-a***s on social media, one of whom described his partnership with Austin McPhee as some sort of ‘hipster experiment’.
Okay, hands up, that particular message was tapped out by these very fingers and although it was nothing more than a throwaway tweet from @tedermeatballs (whoever he is) it was also a fair, reasonable assessment of the gamble taken by Craig Levein.
At the time it seemed like an unnecessarily big risk to take a punt on a man whose credentials for the job were based almost entirely on new-age theory over practical experience. Cathro was up against it from the start, largely because he had never got his hands dirty. How could he when he was busy cutting and pasting his methods into the desktop of a MacBook Air?”
Honestly,you’d get more sense out of Jacko in Love Thy Neighbour.
I`m young/old enough to remember when our team finished fifth in the League. I`m happy tonight.
ABURNTOUTCASE. 533
Well,you always remember your first time…
77/78,Jock’s last season. Horrific,it was.
GG,
Disagree pal, I doubt very much you’ll find any Ivy League leftists never mind any in positions of power in the USA.
Think about it, politics have swung so far right they are accusing Obama of being a socialist FFP, Saunders is calling himself a socialist, that’s how stupid it’s getting.
The entryists are in place and have been since they placed Hoover to consolidate their position and murder any dissent.
Latest blog from a happy Australia. Please enjoy and share. thanks as ever.

BOBBY MURDOCH’S CURLED-UP WINKLEPICKERS on 2ND FEBRUARY 2017 5:22 AM
Trump is currently in the process of keeping the promises he made to the US electorate who have given him power . All within two weeks.
Do you agree with that statement ?
If you do , and I can`t imagine a realist like yourself could fail to , then why would you doubt his intention to do exactly what he said he would do in relation to ” draining the swamp “.
Incidentally the “elites ” of Berkeley Uni. have issued a statement to the effect that it was ” outside agitators ” who were responsible for the riotous behaviour on their campus.
Presumably these “outside agitators” have been identified and now face prosecution.
Haw Haw.

Good morning CQN from a wet, windy but mild East Devon.
Happy days.
Good morning friends from a damp on the ground but otherwise dry East Kilbride. Mind The Canyon ;-)
Morning form a dreich North East Fife.
Canyons?!
I’m sure the sevcoistas will insist that it is imaginary, like the Canyons of Your Mind!
Funnily enough, they renamed themselves as well, although with a lot less fuss than some others…
Has anyone else noticed that the refs really, really ramp up the cheating and dodgy decisions when the game is NOT televised??
Really shone out last night, again.
Morning all.

League Cup won without conceding a goal

A few observation based on 3 games.
TRFC v Motherwell. Motherwell so poor it was difficult to assess how good TRFC were in respect of their opponents.
Celtic v Hearts. Hearts hardly got a kick of the ball against what wasn’t our strongest side so I thought they might struggle v TRFC even at home. Got that wrong.
Celtic v Aberdeen see above re denying them the ball.
Conclusion is that none of our nearest opponents are good enough to offer sustained competition and are much of a muchness.
Mind the chasm.
Bitton played well on Sunday and last night.
Henderson might be another player who is responding to BR’s magic. Glad to be wrong about him.
Forrest has tailed off a bit by recent standards.
Boyota = The Spanish Inquisition. (No one expected it)
Tierney is a genius for one so young.
The rest are performing like true gifted professionals.
So there. :)
I like it when Celtic beat Aberdeen. I like all wins against them; 1-0’s, 4-1’s, 9-0’s, 7-0’s, last minute 2-1’s. So last night was lovely.
That Boyata fella is pretty smashing.
That Bitton bloke is awright, isn’t he?
Auldheid:
” Henderson might be another player who is responding to BR’s magic. Glad to be wrong about him.”
I was not aware you were not a fan of Henderson but I know wasn`t.
I didn`t think he was very good against Hearts but when I watched the Highlights later, I realised how instrumental he was in two of our goals . Last night, I thought he looked very much a player and not in the one-off sense. I was very impressed.

Oops ` I know I wasn`t `
Davidopolous @ 9am
Agree re beating the erstwhile Dandies. As one who saw them beat us regularly home and away until I was in my 30s I cannot tire of beating them. Still won’t eradicate the pain of the 70 Cup Final but all these wins sure soothe it
Boyata. Biggest test passed with flying colours. Never saw it coming either.
Bitton. Thought he was back to his old ways in first half. Superb in second half though- as was the team
Jimbo67
Brendan ‘s point last night about trying too make the team unpredictable was telling, went tae a back three, the wee bearded adulterer didnae have a clue whit tae dae!.
Hayes and mcinnes where practically playing as full backs, if he goes tae the Govan shit house I’ll be delighted so a will.
Oh and see this debate aboot politicians keeping manifesto promises, dae ye think it will ever catch on this side of the pond?, nope me neither! !.
Big sean.

I’ve mentioned this previously. But it’s not so much the televising of games that’s the restraining factor, it’s Chris Sutton’s commentary.
Great credit to Boyata, came in from the cold and hasn’t missed a beat, very fit guy who obviously looks after himself.
The Tynecastle Tanking is on BT Sport 3 @ 10.30….:))
A hard won victory last night from a team firing on three cylinders, when you consider that we had three wingers up front.
Add in the creativity, energy and fire power of Dembelé, Rogic, Armstrong and Griffiths,the DRAG Team, then we will be purring, on and off the field.
The boy Jesus at Man City looks a sensational player! With the emergence of Sane too who also looks great I just can’t see Roberts getting anywhere near their team.

Last season I was saying Bitton couldn’t tackle a wet paper bag – quite why any player would want to tackle a paper bag (wet or not) is beyond me – but in the last few games he has been breaking up opponent’s play, making interceptions and generally being the type of midfielder he has always been billed as. I have to admit I’ve been impressed by him recently.
Never seeen this before, got it messaged on the facing book. It’s funny

I’ve noticed that too. Some words of wisdom from Bren perhaps and the signing of Kouassi Eboue will do that.
