The White House on Thursday disputed the findings of an independent review board that said the National Security Agencys mass data collection program is illegal and should be ended, indicating the administration would not be taking that advice.
We simply disagree with the boards analysis on the legality of the program, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said.
He was responding to a scathing report from The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB), which said the program ran afoul of the law on several fronts.

Predicable
This is one of those moments in history, isn’t it?

Would Ubama subject his imperial self to the outcome of the trial?
Jay Carney hasn’t been at a real WH meeting since he hired on, the little parasite.
The whole federal government is way out of control and drunk on power!
“...drunk on the blood of saints”
Most Americans reject Zer0.
Obama: We don’t need no steeenking laws!
Is this where we can use the phrase “speaking truth to power”, or is that reserved for Libs criticizing Republican presidents?
Ping
My take, is it’s a house of cards. After all our trouble. I don’t think we are going to have to do anything. I think the whole thing is going to collapse on itself. I don’t see army’s marching. It reminds me of Woodrow Wilson’s last days.
They'll sit on this until a Repub takes office, then, like the homeless, this will magically reappear and be made to look like his fault.
