The more I hear the scarier it gets. On a good day do you think they could even spell constitution?

If u luv the constitution so much then follow it as written. ABOLISH ALL LAWS ON SURVEILLANCE except as allowed by constitution, ie going b 4 a judge in getting a warrant. Interesting that u or I can't tape a telephone call without letting the person know u r taping them. Our govt should be forced 2 do the same. Otherwise we live in a dictatorship like Russia, China Iran. This law was passed under a GOP president. Hmmmmm

FISA was passed in 1978. That was President Carter. Anyway, I suggested that we need to figure out a new way because this FISA and FISC goes against the 4A.

Hmmmmm. I thought that what was up for extension was the law passed after 9/1/2001.

My apologies.

But no law should be on the books to spy on US citizens. Follow the constitution. Go before a judge to get permission.

Boy you’re not kidding about those taking the Constitution courses. Hell, even 6th grade Social Studies should be enough to clue these morons. As for Johnson, we knew he was a weenie without a spine from day one. That’s why he holds the position now. The difference between him and Judas Joe in terms of political puppetry is that maybe Johnson isn’t senile.

What we have here is yet another example of refusal to acknowledge laws, the constitution, procedure, policy, order and any other crap like this society is subscribing to these days. Republican, Democrat, Independent, doesn’t matter. All as crooked as arthritic finger.

Good God! I hope Johnson isn't senile. I don't think we could handle any more of that. But they are all in politics for themselves, surely.
