but you seem to be willing to "trust" the other entities in this - the judiciary, the FISA court, the intel committees headed up by people like Jay Rockefeller.
all laws are arbitrary. one day, you wake up and the constitution no longer protects private property rights. the FISA laws can be read to allow for these actions, the administration felt they were acting in the best interests of the country in setting up monitoring for the phone numbers collected from various AQ laptops, the congressional committees were informed and the decisions were reviewed every 45 days. to whom should they have been forced to seek agreement before implementing the plan?
Ok...let's just not have any oversight. That will be perfect if the Rats are ever back in power. We wouldn't want to trust anyone but them, right?
