The key distinction between Obama and Bush here is that the Obama administration appears to have used legal means to carry out domestic surveillance. Nope, no bias there.

No, the key distinction between Obama and Bush is that the Bush Administration did not carry out warrantless domestic surveillance. They only intercepted data crossing outside the country. Besides, no FISA judge is going to issue an indiscriminate warrant that allows wholesale surveilling without regard to target or probable cause.

A blanket statement based on absolutely zero backing evidence.

Does The Left really think that with Nancy Pelosi in control of the House Intel. committee up and until 2010, that the Bush admin. could have really implemented a multi-billion dollar illegal Government Surveillance program without Democrats in the loop?
