You just proved what an idiot you are, Lindsey. Somebody vote this guy out of office and send him home. He’s too stupid to be a Senator.

Seriously, if Lindsay Graham had any honor he would resign.

So, say my daughter goes off to college and meets some radicalized Muslim guy that she thinks is just another college kid. He's dumb as a box of rocks so she tutors him in chemistry. He calls and texts her because she is his tutor and my daughter is also quite beautiful, IMO.

He blows something up.

Low and behold, the FBI arrests her for texting about Chemistry to a known terrorist and talking to him on several occasions leading up to the bombing.

Graham is a putz, that’s the long and short of it. So to speak.

“Hey South Carolina!

Why not vote out this ridiculous POS!”

Unfortunately Graham has built-in support (longstanding incumbent) and that means too many people have their hands in the cookie jar.

Basically here in SC, once a congressman/senator is elected, they rarely are voted out (GOP or Dem).

Hollings, Thurmond, Graham, all examples.. not to mention congressmen like Spratt (served until he couldn’t any longer healthwise) and Clyburn.

Governor is a bit more in-flux in recents times, but Beasley wouldn’t have lost to Hodges if not for the Confederate flag issue. Hodges lasted for one term and lost to a strong fiscal conservative in Sanford. Even with Sanford not getting along with a GOP dominated SC House, Sanford won in a landslide for his second term. Haley came in with (R) next to her name and won. Despite her troubles, she will still be favored to win next time in a rematch with Sheheen.

Ironically, this is the same justification some used here before the Patriot Act became law.

Sadly, it was justified then, and now the “other side” is using it to justify their unconstitutional power grabs.

my first amendment rights protect my right to free

it also protects my right to freedom of association.

this means... when I am talking to a person, I have chosen my audience and have the right to choose who I express myself to. a nebulous third party eavesdropping would be violating my freedom of association, as I did not have the choice whether or not to express myself to them

wholesale violation of these rights is a gross travesty of justice that must be rectified

'Sen. Lindsey Graham said he doesn’t care about the federal government collecting his Verizon phone records because he’s not “talking to terrorists.”'

And I would like to apologise in advance to the Robisons for this next bit but sometimes you just gotta use plain Old English...

FUK U Lindsey Graham... real hard and often...!

Nothing to hide, absence of guilt does not mean its OK to surrender Bill of Rights principles of freedom , unwarranted search and seizure, private property, etc. Any conservative should know and breath the principal but this jackwad doesn’t have a friggin clue.

I wonder how many LoFos might begin to believe his logic is the law.
Shame on you.

He’s also a congress critter and they usually are immune to such. This of course presumes the gummit gets it right. Otherwise he could be in for some big hassles.

Ultimately your answer is the best one. A Constitution is a set of promises. Graham is going down the same road of saying these promises are written in sand that the Obama administration is.

Good for him!

Guess he burned all bridges with NRO.

“on a theoretical level I don’t mind anyone looking at my phone records (if someone wants to waste their time - knock yourself out”

No, it may indeed be you that gets knocked out, due to naivite. “Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law” is equally true for “the hundreds of phone calls, which include wrong numbers, may include numbers we have flagged for whatever reason and put your every action under police scrutiny.”

From a stockholders point of view, I would be appalled that they would issue a statement that would not include at least “we will vigourously defend our customer’s privacy rights under any circumstance.”

Dear ATT

Thank you for making the switch from Verizon to you a very seamless effort and one for which I am very grateful. The salinas store rep, Hector, did all the leg and paperwork and in a matter of minutes, I was receiving calls on the new system from my old phone number which I was able to keep.

I hope the relationship will be a long one as I had Verizon over a decade and during that time spent thousands of dollars with them.

Like almost any personal or business relationship, trust is the glue that allows us to continue. I take at face value the statement from Hector that “I spoke to my manager and ATT is not at this time routinely handing over your call details, although we can’t guarantee that in the future.”

Fair enough, given that I now live in a police state. But if it is disclosed that you are currently handing over information on this new account, the 2 year agreement will have been based on fraud and subject to not only cancellation without penalty, but also actionable for damages.

Sincerely,
