Hey Preppy, I am going, if you decide to go and if you want, we can meet up for coffee before hand or something. I am usually involved in this stuff, and in all liklihood I wont have anyone to go with because all my friends are war mongering death metalheads, or just flat out don't care. PM me, email, or whatever me, if you are up to it. If not, then, cool beans.

Citing the events of September 11, 2001, David Cohen, Deputy Police Commissioner for Intelligence and a 35-year veteran of the CIA, has told the
court in the Police Department's motion papers that continuing to require a
"criminal predicate" to conduct political investigations hampers
intelligence collection on potential terrorists.
The "Handschu" case was filed in 1971 shortly after it came to light that
police had for decades spied on lawful activities of social and racial
justice advocates. A front-page article by Chisun Lee in the December 18th
Village Voice presents a history of the "Handschu" decree, and what is at
stake for New Yorkers. Click here to read the article:

I JERK OFF TO ARCTOPUS
i loved how during the Republican National Convention in Philly (2000), we were confined to a small park area very far from the actual convention sites if we wanted to protest "lawfully". they did the same thing when i went out to State College, PA with a busload of welfare mothers to protest the governor's meeting; they gave us a parking lot and we never saw a governor!
lame.
lame.
well, my boss and i are going to trail along to the courthouse tomorrow to hear these aforementioned arguments etc.
my boss is a pretty insanely brilliant lawyer. i hope she has some insight into this disaster.
