“With all due respect, Senator, I don’t think this is an appropriate setting for me to discuss [this issue],” Holder replied during a Senate Appropriations Subcommittee hearing when Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., asked if the executive branch was conducting surveillance that would give “unique leverage” over lawmakers.

You Wish

Bishop Gecko would have done nothing to stop or roll back the police/natsec state surveillance, which is beyond the reach of politicians, apolitical (except when it assassinates the Pres), out of control, a universe unto itself.

I sincerely hope all this backlash will lead to a candidate in 2016 that at least gives some air time to civil liberties. And then maybe follows through with them.

Barry gave all kinds of bullshit airtime to all kinds of wonderful stuff in 2008.

You people seem very upset that the government is getting this vast amount of data, but not at all concerned that corporations gather, own, exploit, and market the data.

That is quite some hope require.

Corporations don't have any constitutional rights they're expected to preserve.

Since the SCOTUS ruled that corps = people, I'm not so sure about that anymore.

Knowing my luck there will be a candidate I agree with on civil liberty issues that is moonbat crazy in other areas, like Ron Paul.

LOL...

Paul isn't so crazy. He's passionate. If you want to say one equals the other, then so be it. He has very solid and understandable beliefs based in liberty, and I respect the hell out of him for that. I only wish he wasn't such an isolationist.

WC, I just wish Paul was a little less passionate so he could get elected :lol
