Was Romney taped illegally? Was the publication in Mother Jones Illegal?

It would be interesting to find out if the 50K'ers and the waitstaff had to sign nondisclosure agreements before Romney started talking. If not, then it could be argued that Romney had no expectation of privacy. I disagree that that was a 'small intimate' table. It was more than a handful of diners.

If expectation of privacy wont cover a private home we are all screwed. If freedom of speech cant extend to that private area then call in the clowns.

Oh wow what am I talking about.....the patriot act did away with that!

Privacy is important, but when you are a representative and especially a representative who is supposed to be selected to serve the people it's nice to see the lights turned on in a kitchen full of roaches. It is the duty of citizens to expose what politicians of all shape color and creed say behind closed doors so one may know the true candor of the individuals that claim to represent us.

Well here we are talking about privat property......and well if the man likes roaches thats his thing.
