This is a Bipartisan, high energy and solidly pushed effort to have everyone spied on. They've literally moved mountains to get this apparatus in place and keep it secret.
A common deflect on DU is that the President doesn't have a magic wand. He sure as hell does- he made all of the discussion and criticism of this *disappear* after the Bushes left the building(Did they even leave?) by making it look like it disappeared.
If they want to, they can do ANYTHING. The fact that they haven't done certain things means they simply don't want to.

Then you said:
Oh, if you want to put it that way
Who gets to order executions without a trial?
They say it's good to be the king...

Then I said:
Huh?

Then you ended with:
Know the facts before you argue your point
TIA.
TIA.
So okay, first I had to look up TIA:
Abbreviation
Transient ischemic attack.
Then I had to look up "Ischemic":
No, actually it is an, often, overused medical term to describe any transient focal neurological symptom. Although if I were to have another child I am sure TIA might be on the list of names. T.I.A. stands for transient ischemic attack. It results from a brief lack of blood flow to a part or parts of the brain.
The symptoms can be almost anything, including weakness, numbness, tingling, vision loss or changes, balance difficulties, slurred speech or difficulties expressing words, dizziness, or even confusion. Because of the plethora of symptoms, diagnosing TIA has taken on a life of its own and can be easily overused.

So please clarify what facts I need to know other than what you stated! I did not argue a point. I responded to your post.
