As the nation learns more about the National Security Agency’s eavesdropping program, such as recent revelations that the NSA most likely tapped into the communications of Google and Yahoo users, not through cooperation with the companies themselves, but via collusion with the companies’ Internet backbone providers, questions on how the federal government approached its surveillance are increasingly becoming more difficult to answer. One such question — if the Justice Department knowingly lied to the Supreme Court regarding the NSA’s procedures about the notification of targets — presents a potential minefield for the Obama administration.
In the 2012 Clapper v. Amnesty International case, Solicitor General of the Department of Justice Donald B.

Meanwhile, a huge commotion was heard at Attorney General, Eric Holder’s house. Neighbors report that an three armored vehicles pulled up at Holder’s residence and thirty swat police got out. Soon they saw Holder being frog marched to a vehicle. Suddenly someone was heard yelling “*&*%^%^, we have the Attorney General! Someone must have made a mistake!
Holder was seen returning to his house red faced, yelling, “*&^$^%. I am going to get whoever did this!”
Neighbors were heard booing as he returned to his house.
A commander was heard murmuring, “Those d#$%ed government computers! They can’t get anything right!”

Maybe Obama can make one of his, “we’re gonna get to the bottom of this’ speeches.
and this admin is really good at lying
With the mac daddy administration nothing less would ever be expected.
America’s first president could not tell a lie, its last cannot tell the truth.
If you-or I were to lie to our Governemnt it would be a crime-—Why do we allow the governemnt to be a cadre of LIARS?
Kagan is hopeless. The wise Latina, however, has a bit of room to grow in office. I hope she’s well cultivated by her brethren.
Oh now that’s another good one…. just keep those zingers coming
