How Could A U.S. President Allow This To Happen?

[Decus]

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled that the massive spying that took place under the Obama administration; against U.S. citizens, was illegal and very likely unconstitutional. How could a "Constitutional scholar" like Obama allow this to happen?:

"In a ruling handed down on Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said the warrantless telephone dragnet that secretly collected millions of Americans’ telephone records violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and may well have been unconstitutional."

The NSA’s phone call tracking without authorization began under President George W. Bush following the 9/11 terror attacks. Another similar one was approved by the secretive FISA Court in 2006 – and renewed a number of times since – but the appeals court ruled that those rulings were legally flawed.

Thanks for reading the article. Is your position that Obama was right to continue the illegal spying on U.S. citizens or should he have taken action to protect Americans?

Friendly reminder. The topic isn't the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.

How could a "Constitutional scholar" like Obama allow this to happen?

Obama is no Constitutional scholar for starters that's a myth fabricated by the liberal media. This speaks to your question, he was not a professor or even an associate professor because he's not qualified to hold that position. He was a lecturer. His class was rated subpar by students. The lazy bum never engaged with faculty, as soon as his lecture was finished he fled the campus. Even the job was obtained by means of political favor in the corrupt Chicago politics. The guy was was a hack lawyer at best. Never argued a major case. No legal career achievements of any kind. Never a partner at a firm in spite of a degree from Harvard Law.

So is it any surprise this hack had a blatant disregard for the law and Constitution? I think not.

Well, let's see. In the name of national security. This program started in the wake of 9/11 and if my admittedly hazy memory serves me, GWB was President (memba the Patriot Act?).
From The Hill article. So it continued? Are you surprised?...or is your righteous indignation reserved for just for Obama?
