New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said Friday that the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of phone records should continue and the Patriot Act should be renewed in its current form.
The potential 2016 Republican presidential contender said he doesn’t see the government's collection of phone records as an overreach. A federal appeals court has ruled the practice is illegal because Congress didn’t authorize it. […]
Christie said he believes Congress can provide “appropriate oversight” of the program. …

More likely Richardson
Christie is just showing his fondness for big [and corrupt] government.

Funny, he seems like a guy who mostly backs the collection of sandwiches and pies.

Christie should run against Kim Jong-un in North Korea, and if he loses, face execution via artillery bombardment.

The only new law Christie seems likely to oppose is the Lasagna Control Act of 2016.

Could this maroon try any harder NOT to get the nomination?......he was on the Howie Carr show yesterday trumpeting his “means testing” approach as to determine if you get your cut of the ponzi scheme in retirement.....but never said he would cut out any illegals from getting theirs. What an idiot....I never understood the inflated political fame except he was mainstream “press” type of republican. That speaks volumes.
