The NSA has made strange bedfellows against it--Dem. Liberals and Libertarians like Rand Paul--no thank you--and directly on topic .
Yes-we should be like Israel-with a farthest to the right party that one can imagine getting its way on building settlements and preventing peace or blow up the govt-similar to the GOP House of NO right now-and we should let Israel spy on us with American citizens unabated-good call there also .
not a chance
Because its blatantly unconstitutional.
And Israel is still outraged we won't give Pollard back .What??? Are you talking about, really!
not yet according to the SCOTUS, the same SCOTUS you supported with ACA .
The NSA is a topic that has made strange bedfellows.
The Libertarian Right and the Democratic Liberals.
The narrow defeat of the Amash amendment portends things to come.
A case is on its way there.... Two federal judges have voted in opposite ways. Looks like the USSC will have the final say.
Sometimes something is so terrible everyone agrees it is terrible.
Israel spied on the USA with an American citizen.
And Israel is still outraged we won't give Pollard back .
The Bush patriot act only spied on foreign calls and the Bush administration ceased the warrantless wiretapping program in January 2007.
Not yet in either chamber of Congress .
Sorry Nimby, I fail to make the connection.
Nothing entertaining about traitors breaking their written contract with a Nation.
But it's Obama so you get a pass .
But it's Obama . . .?! Another first for the Nation. It's okay to break the Nation's contract, US Constitution, because it's Obama.
Oh! That's because he's the man that can.
That's very troubling to me.
The discussion of the NSA is toward the USA spying on its own citizens.
The untold damage done by a USA citizen spying against us for Israel is
reason enough for a simple soul like me to give them carte blanche .
Oh! That's because he's the man that can.
Sandra Day O'Conner warned us during the Bush administration not to let that camel get its nose under the rug and the GOP partisans mocked her. Before that, there was ample (and dire I would add) warning from senator Church and the Church committee, which has been ignored, you probably don't even know what he warned us of. So, Obama is getting away with what he's doing now because partisans and morons have looked the other way during past administrations.

Senator Sanders really putting the NSA in a political minefield! :applaud:applaud[/FONT][/COLOR]
Then we shouldn't have spied on Cuba during the Cuban missile crisis by that reasoning.
And exactly where was this faux outrage last administration with the Patriot act ?
In truth, I do not know which warning by Church you are alluding to.
But whatever it was, it cannot be an excuse for letting down one's guard now. That is not what precedent means.

Many people, myself included, have been objecting to the illegitimate Unpatriot Act since it was passed. The criminality displayed by Congress and both administrations has been most apparent to those of us paying attention.
I'm thrilled that Bernie Sanders has taken this step. It will be interesting to see what comes of it. I have little to no faith in the ability of Congress assembled to do the right thing and follow the document it is ruled by.
