In reply to the discussion: FISA & EPCA the facts & nothing more [View all]Monkie
(1,301 posts)55. i'm sorry, i really tried debate, but there was none to be had, sadly
i tried hard, i asked more than once, i gave examples, my hands are tied due to there being no case law for me to cite, and all the anonymous expert could do was point to one passage of the law and say, i am a expert and it is ok.
that is not debate, and calling the lawyer from the aclu and greenwald and the yale constitutional lawyers "a joke" with no counterargument is not debate either.
it is a shame really, i enjoy debate with highly intelligent people, because they challenge me, so i feel really let down.

Yeah, where were all of you complainers back in 1979? I didn't see you make a PEEP back then!
