Since that time you have SUPPORTED the egregious Amendment that was passed to PROTECT the criminals who had violated the FISA Bill, making what they did illegally, LEGAL. Their actions did NOT change, our crooked representatives misused and abused their powers and passed a law that made it unnecessary to get a warrant until AFTER the fact.
What we knew then was NOTHING compared to what we have just found out. But we did know that since Congress did not hold the Perps in the Bush administration responsible it would get worse, and that everyone who voted for that Amendment was complicit in allowing it to happen. THAT Was when I first had doubts about this President. And now I see I should have paid more attention to them. He condemned the Amendment and then voted for it.
What we have found out now is shocking, truly shocking and to keep posting this old talking point hoping to diminish how the Bush abuses have since escalated, isn't going to convince anyone of anything. .
