Yup. In the same breath they will rage at him for being a dictator and then applaud his spying on them. Go figure.
I doubt it. There are FReepers like me that support law enforcement getting records they need for specific investigations through the courts. That is how it has worked for years. That is how FISA was supposed to work. But that’s not what they are doing. They issued one order to VZ and asked for all records for all their customers over a 3 month period.
“”What was not explained at the time, Chesney notes, is that the FBI was using the Section 215 requests to obtain a broad array of records. For example, a top-secret FISC order disclosed last week by the Guardian showed that the FBI had used a single Section 215 request to direct Verizon to turn over “all call detail records or telephony metadata’’ of its customers for a three month period, literally millions of records.”
Enough of this BS. It needs to go back to classic surveillance processes established for years. The Patriot Act needs to be scrapped. Many of us feared this would happen and it did.

See above thread for pathetic examples of Freepers defending this crap.
I was thinking that myself. Do you think Obama does not have Demo operatives already in place at the NSA. When did a government agency become pure as the driven snow? Whats to stop a Demo operative from using his secret email account to alert the IRS that so and so donated to Romney. I know we have to fight terrorism but the cost is huge. Audits ruin people’s businesses and personal lives that is why it was so effective in delivering the election to the poser.
I dare any FReeper to support this tyranny and provide their full name.
