White House Removes Petition With Over 22,000 Signatures Calling for the TSA to Follow the Law

Yet again, the Obama administration has made it quite clear that they couldn’t care less about the law, separation of powers or the opinions of the American people by turning their “We the People” petition site into a cruel farce.

When I first mentioned the petition in my August 1, 2012 article, “Federal court calls for TSA to explain defiance of naked body scanner order,” the petition had just over 16,000 signatures. According to the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), the White House removed the petition at around 11:30 am EDT, August 9, 2012, with about 22,500 signatures.

As I mentioned in my article linked above, this isn’t the first time the official We the People website has been shown to be a complete joke.

The responses to the genuine concerns and opinions of significant numbers of Americans are treated as completely meaningless by the political establishment, which is hardly surprising seeing as they have decided that they can assassinate American citizens with no explanation whatsoever based on classified evidence.

Interestingly, EPIC seems to indicate that the White House actually removed it before the petition was set to expire.

If this is true, it would mean that the White House is very clearly abusing their already farcical petition system in order to avoid even having to respond to the genuine concerns of Americans.
