The Judge, Metadata and Health Care

A former NSA analyst and Bush-era whistleblower says the intelligence community ‘hoovered metadata’ on a range of people, including high-ranking military officials, lawmakers and diplomats. Russ Tice also made another allegation.

“They went after judges,” Tice says. “One of the judges is now sitting on the Supreme Court that I had his wiretap information in my hand.”

Add to this, Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah, who believes Supreme Court Justice John Roberts changed his vote on Obamacare because of intimidation.  Lee admits he has “no evidence” anyone wiretapped Roberts.

“The opinion was written in a way to suggest he switched his vote,” says Lee.

Roberts wrote the court’s majority opinion in favor of the Affordable Care Act. His opinion came as a surprise to many when he declared the law constitutional on the grounds that it is a tax, and therefore falls within the powers of the federal government.

J. Edgar Vacuum Cleaner, would be proud.
