"When you don't know the law, as you apparently don't, you ought to avoid making BS claims. In fact, the Foreign Intelligence Security Act permits the government to monitor foreign communications, even if they are with U.S. citizens -- 50 USC 1801, et seq. A FISA warrant is only needed if the subject communications are wholly contained in the United States and involve a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power.

Chew on that a while."


Hey, you're the one who doesn't mind being spied upon, not me. If it's OK with you that Bush abuses his exec. powers, I hope you're similarly unconcerned when President Hillary abuses the Patriot Act. The GOP and its whorish spending policies won't always be in power. But don't worry - when President Hillary abuses the Constitution and spies on you, I'll still be on your side.

If Hillary Clinton becomes President, and if we face the kind of terrorist threat we experienced with 9/11, then I pray that she'll have the wisdom to spy on those that need to be spied on.

Any other position is irresponsible, childish, shortsighted, etc.
