The Who Dat Nation is loyal. Almost to a fault. Most Saints fans are still nostalgic about the Saints 2009 season and the 2010 Super Bowl Championship. Fast forward seven years and the Saints' fortunes under Sean Payton are less than stellar. In the last three seasons, Sean Payton's winning record as the New Orleans Saints Head Coach is poor. He has guided the Saints to only 19 wins out of 45 games, a 42% winning percentage. Failing grades and failed coaching. The failures of the…
Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are the cream of the crop when considering quarterbacks in the NFL. They are two of the most coveted athletes in the history of American sports. The two greats are slated to make the hall of fame without a doubt. Tom Brady was selected number 199 in the 2000 draft, Peyton was selected on the other end of the spectrum at number one in the 1998 NFL draft. They are very similar in size, but they play the game differently. Tom Brady is the king of the post-season while…
There are many current public policy issues that are surrounding the U.S today. To name a few that I believe are most important; Abortion, Gun Control, Immigration, Counter Terrorism, the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, Civil liberties, Civil Rights, and Privacy. I would like to discuss the Patriot Act because I feel that it is a topic of much debate and one that I am extremely, extremely familiar with. It also affects the last three public policy issues I mentioned and in a sense covers them. I…
Dear Senators Bill Nelson and Marco Rubio, It has been brought to my attention that the Government has access to surveillance systems that can monitor our phone calls, text messages, emails and etc if needed. I agree that the government should have this right, but I believe there must be some strict guidelines placed in order to ensure the personal privacy of citizens. While discussing this topic, it may seem scary to think as a citizen, that everything in our personal lives isn’t as private…
admit to the structured PED culture. Only a middle round draft pick was their punishment for illegally spying on opponents. Million dollar fines, lengthy suspensions, and loss of valuable draft selection were needed to assure the public that the Patriots pattern of unethical systematic behavior was intolerable. But was it enough? After all they are still Four time…
of the people. In instances like the PATRIOT Act when the NSA kept people’s phone records without their knowledge, people viewed this as an invasion of privacy, even if it’s original purpose was to prevent future acts of terrorism. It violated the fourth amendment which grants us the right to privacy unless there was probable…
portrays the modern world we live in today. Our Privacy Rights are being infringed because of Governmental intrusion, the Patriot Act and/or, the NSA(and other homogeneous organizations). "The Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, otherwise known as the USA PATRIOT Act or just the Patriot Act, was…
Since then, the agency has expanded in power and size, due to further technological innovation, and the passing of the USA PATRIOT Act, granting them increased surveillance capabilities in order to defend the American people against the growing threat of terrorism. In order to collect cellular and internet metadata, the NSA has built intercept stations in buildings owned by major…
stated in the Patriot Act of 2001, the NSA is protected from such…
privacy, and security are all superior within the Patriot Act. America, now-a-days, are terrorized by foreigners and out-of-state citizens for the control and power over the United States. By reading the primary source documents and commentary texts, it helped to show how the Patriot Act has a relationship to the Bill of Rights because of the reasoning to find a proper balance between national security and individual rights, explaining how the Patriot Act and privacy goes hand in hand with each…
