crooksandliars.com — This past week, the Bush administration added insult to injury over its illegal program of NSA domestic surveillance. During the very time Congress was debating codifying President Bush?s lawbreaking by revising the FISA law many of his allies have been afraid to publicly challenge as unconstitutional, Alberto Gonzales?

It's against the law now to stop agencies from breaking the law.And now it is legal. Can't wait for them to legalize summary execution.

No joke. Welcome to Amerika! Where Freedom is just a slogan! And Democracy. And Rule of Law. And the American Pipe Dream... But I'm not bitter. Oh, no. Not me.

Yes they would be stupid ass "terrorists" for not thinking that their phones would be tapped. Even the mob knew that

To Jmuduke: Point taken, though better phrasing would be appropriate. After all, as Cbuddha42 mentioned, there are counterexamples. To Wartyboskfapped: I've got a B.A. in American history, and I will admit to you that from the Whisky Rebellion through the Pinkertons, there have always been problems with this country. However, I do not think that the problems with this country were as severe and as dangerous as they are now. Every time America has been challenged, we have stepped back from the brink of the abyss. I fear that we will not step back and that these measures are a metaphorical flying leap. I really do not feel that we can recover from this administration's damage.

There is a system of laws that we have here in this country that supposedly are derived from the Constitution. Unfortunately, lately laws have been more and more convoluted to support the interests of this administration. I think most of us are aware that this administration has broken the law and international law by engaging fraud, treason, crimes against humanity and abuse of power. Some posts indicate that the NSA operative who leaked the information deserved what was coming to him because he broke the law by leaking information.Let me ask you all this, what is worse? Bush breaking the law or the NSA operative breaking the law? I prefer NSA operative cause it exposes the many lies of this administration. The reality is that we have a huge f*cked up situation in Washington and the current administration plays a big part in it.

Never forget, *reasonable* searches are constitutional even without a warrant. Now stop and ask yourself if keeping track of who known terrorist operatives communicate with... and doing so without in any way interfering with anyone's ability to communicate or otherwise Inconveniencing anyone... can possibly be considered unreasonable. How is it unreasonable?
