I called Senator Ensigns office in DC and had a nice, friendly chat with a staffer about Section 215/3. When I explained it to him the way I posted in #85 and asked if he voted for the Director of the FBI, he said no and then blurted, "Let me show this to the Senator."
I don't know what part got to him but it was one of these, library circulation records, library patron lists, book sales records, book customer lists, firearms sales records, or medical records.
I suggested that we keep the idea of having warrants issued by judges not bureaucrats and he agreed.
Your using word-play...judges could just as correctly be called bureaucrats. Because they wear a black robe, we should trust them more? Why? Lawyers have been screwing with your liberties for years.
