The House spending bill would allow Trump officials to secretly shift money to fund intelligence programs, a break with 70 years of governing tradition.Obama had already shifted it without permission. Now wait, some leftist judge will claim the POTUS doesn't have the authority to overturn Zero's decree.
Giving the Intelligence community carte Blanche is not always a great deal.
Untethered spending on spying means that they can spy without control.

Too many people are rushing to hand over unbridaled power to the President. That might be fine today...but what about in 20 years?
