Frankly, I'm not particularly worried about domestic spying under a Republican administration, but I am seriously concerned about what would happen under a Democrat administration. This is my most gut-wrenching concern. The possibilities for abuse are legion--and the Democrats would definitely abuse it. The mendacity and hypocrisy of the Left--an example of which has just been given--not to mention other dangers of an empowered Left--are enough to give any honest citizen cause for apprehension.

But remember, laws and procedures have never stopped the DIMs before...

I'd say that it's worked pretty well so far.

Yeah, but sometimes we need to hold the line or at the very least create as much friction as possible so things don't get carried away. Terrorism has been around forever and it's not going to just go away, so anything we give up it's likely permanent. The government just wants to do what ever it takes to get the job done, problem is we and future generations have to live with it, so choose carefully. I don't know if a big intrusive government which gives the illusion of safety is the right way.

"laws and procedures have never stopped the DIMs before..."

There's certainly no question about that, but having laws that could so easily be abused would make it all the easier for them. That's what's frightening.
