This is a serious breach of the fourth amendment. Someone is going to fry for this and rightfully so.

Read it and weep for this country.

Even the WaPo is turning on Obama.

I'm sure President Richard Milhous Obama has a reasonable explanation.

Nah. He'll just plead ignorance - that's how the press and Obama serfs justify all the sh!t that goes on in his administration. Basically turn a blind eye because he's their guy.

Well, the administration is just so damned VAST.

You may as well assume that the NSA has all digital communications and internet traffic.

Sum, this is one of those cases where you have to attach Bush's name to this. The Patriot Act started off as good intentions (the road to hell is paved with those), but it's grown out of control to the nightmare we're dealing with now.

Honestly, this is something neither party seems to care about. For all the talk of transparency, Obama has failed miserably with that. But, I have no misapprehensions about the fact that no electable republican president would have done any different.

And it's something the right and left should be equally outraged about.
