Bill Cosby: Jail-O for Mr. Jell-O?

Bill Cosby in custody after authorities disrupt “Jell-O Bomber” plot.


Two fighter jets were scrambled Wednesday to escort a Los Angeles-to-Washington flight to an emergency landing in Des Moines after a disturbance in which passengers said Bill Cosby paced up and down the aisle with incoherent mutterings of the word “Jell-O”.

The 69-year-old comedian/actor/author faces federal charges for interfering with a flight crew, after his outburst on the flight prompted a massive security scare and raised questions about the thoroughness of passenger screening.

Passengers on the plane said they noticed Cosby acting suspiciously and heard him repeatedly talking about Jell-0. Several witnesses heard “The Cos” specifically mention “putting Jell-O in travel packs” and threats to “make them pop”.


Authorities have uncovered Cosby’s association with Jell-O groups that goes back over 30 years

and his indoctrination of children as future Jell-O bombers.

White House officials were quick to point out that without the key tool of President Bush’s illegal domestic spying authorities would have been unable to disrupt this Jell-O bomber plot or uncover Cosby’s activities as a foreign spy.

Can We Impeach Bush, now?

Jail to the Chief!

Glenn Greenwald, a consitutional lawyer, has summarized and evaluates the ruling at Unclaimed Territory:

First, the court rejected the administration's assertion of the "state secrets" doctrine with regard to the NSA eavesdropping program...

Second, the court ruled that the plaintiffs have standing to challenge the legality of the NSA program even though they cannot prove they have been eavesdropped on...

Third, the court ruled -- rather emphatically and without much doubt -- that warrantless eavesdropping violates the Fourth Amendment's prohibition on unreasonable searches and seizures...

Fourth, the court ruled independently -- again, without all that much reasoning -- that the NSA program violates the plaintiffs' First Amendment rights...

Fifth, the court relied upon Youngstown to hold that the Executive's powers in the national security area do not entitle him to act beyond the law or the Constitution...

Sixth, the court swiftly and dismissively rejected the administration's claim that the AUMF constitutes authorization to eavesdrop in violation of FISA...

Seventh, the court made its scorn quite clear for the administration's Yoo theory of executive power because, as the court put it, "there are no hereditary kings in America and no powers not created by the Constitution."...

Finally, and really quite extraordinarily, the court (a) declared the NSA program to be in violation of FISA, the First Amendment and Fourth Amendment and (b) issued a permanent injunction enjoining the Bush administration from continuing to eavesdrop in violation of FISA...
