"Follow the Law. Get a Warrant." What's so complicated about that?!?

[Sparkly]

When did the whole concept of abiding by the law become so apparently difficult for people to grasp?

The talkingheads persist in casting illegal domestic spying as a FALSE DICHOTOMY between "National Security" ("protecting the American people," "Safety," etc.) VS. Civil Liberties. So we hear Tweety, Andrea Mitchell, Norah, etc. etc... telling us (as Tweety just did again): "Security Trumps Civil Liberties."

This is NOT a card game. The two are NOT mutually-exclusive.

Need to eavesdrop? FINE -- GET A WARRANT!!!

What's so complicated about that?!? Grrrr.... :mad:

1. GET A WARRANT to eavesdrop on POLITICAL ENEMIES?

Why do you thinnk they didn't ask?

4. How do you explain to a FISA judge ...

... that Kerry's campaign headquarters has definite ties to Al Qeada?

2. They could not apparently get warrants

for who they wanted to listen in on; the court obviously said NO

3. They are hiding something BIG

the pattern of evasion is just WEIRD....
yeah these are crooks and they DID indeed break the law...
but somethings up.... things are just too odd in their response...
this matter could have been laid to rest so easily long ago...
I just have a gut feeling that they are covering for something..
something very BAD. Very very BAD.

5. worse than watergate, worse than nixon.

they have been using all of our intelligence infrastructure for politics, power and greed. nothing to do with their pretend war on terra.

[acmejack]

6. Talk about insider trading!

8. yes, we do not know what or who NSA picked up on.

7. There seems to be a quick rebuttal

to the claim that Congress gave implicit approval for this breach of MY Constitution.

Each of our Democratic officeholders in Washington could sign one letter directed to * saying:
"I didn't give permission to do this!"

Their side could then do the same. Matter of fact, I'd like to see all of 'em on record as to what their intent was.

...O...

9. didn't a letter to to Adm. saying exactly this?--conyers?
