Wait what’s to like about Rubio again? oh yeah..nothing.
Listening to Levin re: Rubio - I know longer trust him.
He seems like a viscous, unprincipled opportunist.
Not in theory or practice. That is, if you value the Fourth Amendment.
The problem is not the COLLECTION of information but rather the INTERPRETATION of the info. They knew about the Boston bomber but cleared him after an investigation. They had warnings about this couple in San Bernadino but did not connect the dots. They investigated the cartoon convention attackers but did not act. They had plenty of info and they could have gotten warrants for those guys if they wanted to but they did not act on the info they had. So why is it necessary for them to invade the privacy of every person in America when they can’t even process the info they have?
I’m sticking with the guy who isn’t trying to protect me by spying on me.

Seriously? I stopped reading here. Anyone who would align himself with Rubio, Christie and Jeb Bush is irrelevant to me.
Rubio on a Cruz ticket makes no damn sense. (Re: the two of them together = best chance for defeating Hillary). Cruz is a senator from a Southern state and has Cuban ancestry. So is Rubio. What demographic would Rubio bring to the ticket? The “business as usual, pro-amnesty crowd”? No thanks, no sale.
Cruz needs to find a more moderate (but not an amnesty shill) Republican from the NE or NW to be on his ticket. Walker might have been a good option, but I think his campaign hurt him, sadly.
It doesn’t matter.
Rubio is out of the game as far as I am concerned.
He will never get my vote because of his stance on immigration with The Gang of Eight.
Yes, he backed away from it but only after he was slammed by conservatives.
He revealed his true feelings on the issue when his first instinct was to hook up with Schmucky Schumer and The Gang of Eight to support sanctuary and amnesty for illegals.
FROM BREITBART:
“The Schumer-Rubio immigration bill would have granted amnesty to millions of illegal aliens, it would have doubled the annual admission of temporary foreign workers, and it would have dispensed 30 million green cards to foreign nationals in the span of just one decade, despite current record immigration levels.”
Rubio is clearly an establishment plant as are Christie and Kasich, all like and kind to McCain and Romney attempting to set up this country once again for the Hag to go to the WH without serious challenge.
Get a warrant, a secure connection into the phone companies’ records, and data mine on known terrorists all you want.
Do NOT aggregate all that information at the Federal Government without a warrant. That is a patently unconstitutional search without probable cause in my opinion.
Federally controlled data aggregation is also a honey pot for Federal malfeasance. If you think 0bama won’t use that data against conservatives, Andy, you’re smoking some wicked weed.
“It is no secret that I am an enthusiastic advocate of the NSA program. In theory, it is a valuable national security tool and it is constitutionally unobjectionable.”
Well, the author just lost all credibility trying to put that one past us.
No one is ever going to believe that.
