ACLU sues Obama administration over NSA surveillance

Gettin' close.
Yep.
Is Germany perhaps one of the few adults left on the world stage?
Well since Germany is looking back to Nazism with its tagging of Israeli produced goods maybe they should just get together and compare notes.
They should have gone whole-hog and compared it to the Gestapo or Schutzstaffel. Otherwise, they’re right.

The STASI were community organizers too.
I don’t agree with German public opinion much, but they’re right this time.

I guess it’s Ok! for the NSA to listen to phone calls that originate in Germany or the UK that route through the USA, or scoop up the internet foot print of UK citizens, save it in a data base and then give it to the UK’s MI6. No warrant needed says the UK we didn’t gather this info our friend at the NSA gave it to us. So what if this becomes untenable at NSA to continue, they can just give all the technology to the Brit’s and say hey you spy on the American people for us, it not illegal for you to do it, there’s no pesky constitution restricting you form spying on Americans, then had it over to your friends at the NSA.
It has become a small world!!!!!
This is ironic, since Germany’s domestic spying agency, the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz, is very active — or supposed to be very active — because extremists of the right and left are more numerous and prominent in public life in Germany (feel free to put “ironic quotation marks” around any of those words, if you like).
Thanks!
Obama has been practicing his “Ich bin ein Hosenscheisser!” speech.
