Like George W. Bush said to a member of his cabinet who grumbled about the unconstitutionality of the Patriot Act, “It’s (the Constitution) just a G-damned piece of paper.”

Obama is carry on the tradition of wrecking the Constitution and the republic before the slow-moving legal system can even address the damage much less fix it. For 14 years, NSA et al. have been using the cover of the Patriot Act to illegally spy on innocent Americans and grab a constant record of everything they say and do before a federal court intervened, just today, and called out that provision of the Patriot Act illegal. Same case here.

Uhm...that’s been debunked...no credible source for that has ever turned up.

The TPP and Fast Track Authority Barry wants so damn bad is the very worst thing to hit us since NDAA and the Patriot Act. I hope to heck the TPP is stopped.

Excuse me, but I strongly doubt George W. Bush ever uttered such words.

Have you any proof of your assertion?

They wre spying on them before that.

THere have been reciprocity agreements btwn other countries for data/phone feeds way before that. FBI could already spy domestically.
