70. First, I'm pretty sure Glenn Greenwald is a libertarian.

Second, he speaks for himself and not for "the liberals".

Finally, why do you keep trying to shoehorn him into this thread? This is about the President and what he's going to do or not do. Insisiting on injecting Glenn Greenwald into this thread, someone of no consequence to the president's decisions, is odd. Isn't there an anti-Greenwald thread out there you can inhabit?
