In reply to the discussion: Do you support Senator Leahy's Patriot Act/FISA reform bill? [View all]Savannahmann
(3,891 posts)1. You know, this would have gone better from someone else.
After all, your position has been pretty clear, it's all about Greenwald and Snowden and their irrational hatred of President Obama. Your position has been that there is nothing to the FISA story, so asking how people feel about changes to the FISA court, after making sure it was all about the messenger, is a little problematic.
I'm afraid I can't comment until I hear it from an acceptable source. Sorry.

That is just stupid. Leahy is a stalwart defender of civil liberties and social justice.

Sure, yeah. I have no doubt that the potential for abuse is high in the current system.
