Default 'Warrantless' searches not unprecedented

Probably what Clinton did wasn't right, but the GOP was more concerned
with his pecker.


And just where was the outrage? Not a peep from anyone. Why? A Dem was in
office. Typical liberal double standard.




This is not an argument about:
a) spying on terrorists being ok or not ok
b) those who want to fight terrorism and those who don't

This is an argument about the president refusing to follow the law
that would not slow him down at all. The law simply requires him to go
to a secret court and get a f*cking warrant. They've turned down 5 out
of 30,000 requests in the last 20 years. And they even allow the
president to get a warrant *after* the spying has begun in emergency
cases, so there's not even the "ticking time bomb" scenario you repugs
who think you're so clever were all ready to toss out. There's no good
possible reason this thug president can't just go get a damn warrant.
Why do Republicans hate the rule of law, and love Dictatorship?
