House Defeats Amendment to Stop NSA Spying on Americans

Rejection of that dangerously ridiculous proposal is a testament to the fact that occasionally the imbecility of Congress-Critters CAN be overcome.

Rejection of that great proposal to restore the rule of law is a testament to the fact that we are being governed by criminals.

^ utterly baseless platitude.

The proposal has nothing at all to do with the alleged restoration of the rule of law.

It was a simplistic effort to place fanciful claims of "privacy" over genuine security needs.

It was properly shot down; and your mindless sheep rhetoric doesn't alter that fact.

The Talking Points for NSA’s Dragnet Don’t Hold Up

By Julian Sanchez

A bipartisan group of legislators in the House—spearheaded by Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich) and John Conyers (D-Mich)—is bucking both the Obama administration and Republican party leadership to push an appropriations measure defunding the National Security Agency’s dragnet phone records programs. The measure would forbid the government from using any resources to execute a Patriot Act §215 “business records” order unless it is limited to the specific targets of specific investigations—effectively barring use of that authority to vacuum up the phone records of millions of innocent Americans.

Predictably, the intelligence community and its proxies in Congress are pushing back ferociously, circulating an “Open Letter of Support” for the dragnet program from former intelligence officials. It’s worth surveying their main talking points to see just why they aren’t persuasive. Note that they begin, as many defenders of the phone dragnet do, by lumping it together with the very different PRISM program, which involves monitoring of international e-mail and Internet traffic:

Mr Dingleberry, Sir:* * * *

Talking to yourself is a sign of mental illness.

In your case, of course, that's redundant, Confusedatious.

Objecting to the NSA Surveillance program on the grounds which are cited by simpleton bitches like you is just further proof that you are not responsible enough to be trusted with a spork.
