A gentleman on FoxNews (Brit Hume’s show) made the obvious point that the NSA story is not a case of whistleblowing because there was nothing being done wrong and nothing was being hidden. FISA and Congress knew of the program and were kept up to date. The NSA is not illegal. So there can be […]

Here is a great discussion of legal warrantless searches, which combined with the basic fact the Constitution, and the powers it subscribes to the President, supercedes any legislation out of Congress (hing: FISA) results in a really bad year to come for the impeachment crazed left. Several types of search and seizure have long been […]

Seems like mature discussion of the actual issues is starting to arise out of the heap of rabid cries for impeachment (which I hope continue since these calls will demonstrate the lack of seriousness and immense void of proposals from the left). Hat tip to Real Clear Politics for finding many of these excellent discussions. […]

A diarist over at Redstate makes a good point about the FISA wall and Moussaoui. BTW, yes I am still banned at Redstate since I made them call me names against their own policy on personal insults! Isn’t life ironic?

Talk about hoping the world will end so you can be crowned emperor of the ashes! Check out this liberal’s pathological fantasy, culminating in Bush’s impeachment: Because we shall soon see the consequences of those warrantless searches, the consequences of the government’s five years of secrecy, and even the citizens of the “Red States†will […]

For all those who fell asleep during US Government class (especially you intellectually superior liberals) the US Constitution takes precedent over any act of Congress. So, no matter what the FISA statute says, it cannot supercede the US Constitution and the powers granted the President in that document. Any legislation that attempts to challenge the […]

As I suspected, it is not clear FISA has any authority over the NSA’s role in surveillance overseas. The rub comes when information from overseas or in connection with overseas agents touches people in the US. That is when the FBI must come into play, and apparently the process of that hand over is through […]

Investors Business Daily minced no words today in saying the NY Times has helped Al Qaeda by alerting them to our methods, and tipping them off so they can adjust their plans to kill Americans: It’s hard to imagine a major American newspaper in 1942 announcing before the Battle of Midway that we had broken […]

I cannot beleive the media is so blind to the damage they are doing to our efforts to find and stop terrorists out to kill us. It is just mind blowing. Now there is another article out, sourced by another bitter law enforcement agent who is probably more liberal than law enforcement, that again identifies […]
