American Jurisprudence Member Jerry Sussman didn't have to go far to find today's speaker. It was his brother-in-law, Steven Plotkin, author, lecturer and judge from Louisiana. Mr. Plotkin spoke today about a subject upon which he indicated he had spoken in the past - The American Patriot Act, a law passed by the United States Congress in the days following September 11, 2001. He indicated that prior to the passage of this Act there was a greater demand put upon law enforcement authorities prior to the issuance of warrants and wire tap orders. In the past "probable cause" was required to be demonstrated sufficient to convince a judge to issue such order. Now if the situation is one to be deemed to be "in the national interest" search warrants and wire tap orders can be issued with no more than the affidavit of the law enforcement authority. Mr. Plotkin, calling upon his years of experience as a jurist, saw this process as a serious erosion of the civil liberties of the American people. On a less serious note a hearty group (pictured left) of Coral Springs-Parkland Rotarians helped Pack 360 do some clean-up and fix-up of the Sartory Senior Center in Coral Springs. After turning the cub scouts loose the group learned two important words: DROP CLOTHS!! |
