It's probably the only negative thing I can find about Barr. The biggest point in his favor is that he's long been an advocate of an independent executive branch of the U.S. government, which means he considers the U.S. Department of Justice to be an agency within the executive branch rather than an independent "fourth branch" of the government as so many people in Washington -- Democrat and Republican alike -- seem to think. That itself is the single biggest issue behind the selection of the new AG.
rand paul is in love with his own press clippings.
“Rand Paul doesn’t like Barr’s support of the PATRIOT Act — which means I agree 100% with Rand Paul on this.”
Well, the Patriot Act has been the law for many years, so maybe Rand Paul can sniff around for some other impurity lodged in the man’s mind.
The Patriot Act can’t hold a candle to the privacy invasion going on now with all those phone apps.
I noticed that when you sign on to Twitter, you give Twitter permission to use your phone video camera and microphone without your knowledge or permission. Twitter does not explain why they would want to use that.
Most of the apps say the same thing.
