1. Al Franken is one funny guy.

And brilliant.

2. Franken's radio show used really brighten my day at work. He used to tear Rush and OLielly apart nt

3. That was funny, and a good question, but I think David Kriss answered it ably

and sensibly. The Patriot Act is a little loose on how you identify targets for "roving wiretaps," but the 4th Amendment allows a little looseness because it doesn't require naming names, just "particularly describing" the target of the warrant. A constitutional challenge could lead to a silly argument about the definition of "particularly." Probably not the most promising pursuit for the ACLU.
