It was not clear if the records also included incoming calls or the duration of the calls.

In all, the government seized the records for more than 20 separate telephone lines assigned to AP and its journalists in April and May of 2012. The exact number of journalists who used the phone lines during that period is unknown, but more than 100 journalists work in the offices where phone records were targeted, on a wide array of stories about government and other matters." . . .

"The IRS official who led the tax-exempt organizations unit when Tea Party groups were targeted is now in charge of the IRS office responsible for ObamaCare, two Capitol Hill sources told Fox News.

The acknowledgement comes after the administration announced that the official’s successor -- who had only been on the job a few days -- would be retiring. And it fueled criticism of the agency, as the outgoing IRS commissioner prepared to face lawmakers’ questions at a hearing Friday morning. 'Stunning.

7. Justice Department Has Decided 4th Amendment Doesn’t Apply

There is no such thing as a private message on Twitter.

“'The U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI believe they don’t need a search warrant to review Americans’ e-mails, Facebook chats, Twitter direct messages, and other private files, internal documents reveal. Government documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union and provided to CNET show a split over electronic privacy rights within the Obama administration, with Justice Department prosecutors and investigators privately insisting they’re not legally required to obtain search warrants for e-mail.

"The U.S. attorney for Manhattan circulated internal instructions, for instance, saying a subpoena – a piece of paper signed by a prosecutor, not a judge – Is sufficient to obtain nearly ‘all records from an ISP.’ And the U.S. attorney in Houston recently obtained the ‘contents of stored communications’ from an unnamed Internet service provider without securing a warrant signed by a judge first.'” . . .

8. New York Man Arrested For Having 9 Rounds In Gun Instead Of 7

"Gregory Dean, Jr. was pulled over by a police officer in Upstate New York because his license plate lamp wasn’t working." - GodFatherPolitics

"However, upon closer inspection of the firearm, the officer found out that there were nine rounds in the gun’s magazine. This is a violation of the incorrectly named New York SAFE Act, which places the maximum limit at seven rounds. So, Dean was no longer the innocent and law-abiding citizen that he thought he was (besides the minor license plate light infraction). He was subsequently charged with 'unlawful possession of certain ammunition feeding devices' as well as “third-degree aggravated unlicensed operation” and arrested. He was an illegal and non-law-abiding gun owner after all." . . . Read More

9. The Atheist Reasons: If There Is No God For Anyone, There Are No Morals For Anyone.

"American values under attack from all corners: "There is neither good nor evil. Whatever a person does cannot be evaluated in moral terms. Evolution knows nothing about morality." - GodFatherPolitics

"Christian philosopher Norman L. Geisler states: 'How would you know that the Holocaust is ultimately wrong unless you knew what was ultimately right? If you don’t have an absolute standard for right, you can’t say that [the Holocaust] is absolutely wrong. That’s just your opinion, and somebody else’s opinion could be, the Holocaust was the best thing in the history of mankind.'" . . . Read More
