You act as if all creations of Congress act constitutionally.

Never said that. I usually say just the opposite. If you follow my posts and comments at all, you'll see that I question most all federal acts, congressional or otherwise. For instance Obamacare is flatly unconstitutional.

Encyclopedia Britannica as an accurate or knowledgeable source. The assertion that NSA acts outside of Congressional oversight is absolutely false.

You dodge and weave pretty good there Salvavida. Why don't you come out from hiding and provide a reliable source that gives a clear and concise definition and description of the organization and function of the NSA.

I already told you they are they manage and operate the nation's SIGINT. It's what they do. Any organization can be used to do evil. Now if you think that the USA can do without SIGINT, cool. We won't last that long as a nation, but maybe that's a good thing.

Brush up on your Chinese because arguing these points doesn't move the football one inch.
