Reply #37: No wonder they're screeching so loudly [View All]

Trying the scalded cat defense. Scream loud enough and nobody can think straight. I hope they're nailed to the wall on this one.

The right wing is desperately trying to change the subject to "them liberals don't want us to wiretap damn terraists. The law only protects U.S. citizens, you commies." The issue, of course, is that it has been used on U.S. citizens and what the law calls U.S. persons, meaning people living here legally, citizen or not. No one is saying we can't try to intercept messages from the Russian consulate to Moscow.

They know they fucked up, so they're going to screech and screech and screech, hoping something new will pop up to distract the press and congress.
