21. How is this about him?

Jun 2013

In 2008 The Congress did pass the FISA law of 2008 which made this legal with warrents- that is what everybody was requesting of Bush...It is what Obama said he would do, what more should HE - himself do? They get warrants from the FISA court. Well, everyone then says, well that court didn't deny even one request...well, yeah...they likely don't request a warrant unless it'll pass muster to allow one. Why would anyone ask for a warrant that isn't legit in the first place?

I wouldn't dream of disregarding that advice Cirque du So-What Jun 2013 #1
