"Clinton did it" is a pretty sorry rationale for government spying on American citizens. Clinton did a lot of things that shouldn't have been done.

Back to Logic101.
You miss the argument entirely; no is is arguing that because so and so did it...

What is being asked, rightfully so, is that if it is so Constitutionally critical, why didn't all the present critics (traitors) challenge the practice then?

They were then either incompetent or complicit.

My guess is they were complicit. Even if a argument could have been made against Cliinton using the power times have changed as we are at war.
