Yet - everyone's fine with Congress being able to nab our internet histories now.
The Patriot Act and all its spawn are.. no bueno.
That's just them spying on little people. It's only a problem when people spy on the important folk.
Also - look at the law - it's called the Patriot Act, FFS. There's absolutely no way that people would use patriotism as an excuse to behave like a scoundrel!

But you love the FISA court?

I have not followed this all that closely. After nearly 4 years, it's not only impossible to keep up, but the redundancy is getting boring.
It does seem, though, that Obama had a particular dislike of Flynn. I don't understand why Flynn seemed to be in the crosshairs of so many people, undoubtedly based upon Obama's desire to do more than fire him, but to destroy him personally and financially.
I'm probably wrong, like I said I'm not following the timeframe and sequence of events. Could it be that Flynn as a person, was someone that represented everything Obama abhored and was to be an example?

I don't love much about any of this, TBH. My lack of comment shouldn't be read in any way other than I haven't commented.

Just searching for common ground.
I think an easy end result for much of this, is some serious FISA court reform.
