Now DeWine wants to undercut the presidents authority in the War on Terror.
– The bill mandates that the President obtain a warrant for surveillance on a suspected terrorist once he has sufficient evidence to do so.
We have to get a warrant on Osama Bin Laden if we want to watch him?
Oh, and this is special too -- Note how all terrorist surveillance has to be run through the senate with a probable ten senators, five of them democrats, with their staffers and whoever they talk to. Yeah, that’s a good idea (/sarcasm):
- Finally, the bill establishes a Terrorist Surveillance Subcommittee within the Senate Intelligence Committee with the exclusive jurisdiction to oversee and monitor the details of the Terrorist Surveillance Program. That Subcommittee is empowered to obtain any and all information about the surveillance of any individual in order to ensure that the President is not abusing the rights of law-abiding Americans.
Unfortunately our weak-kneed senator doesn’t have the guts to stand up to the liberal media and the ACLU and their incessant carping about civil rights for terrorists and those who have declared war on the united states and our very existence.
Let’s get someone in office who knows where he stands, the right thing to do, and the guts to do it.

Pierce for Senate, for US, for OHIO (site, blog, contribute, collection of position and history posts).
More on Pierce's background and positions is at this previous FR post: HERE
Mike DeWine has only two allies: Apathy, and Inertia. Bill Pierce can crush both of them on May 2, IF Ohio conservatives turn out and vote the issues in the voting booth. Let's roll.
