Reply #70: The good is that we are protecting our LIBERTY...

[ddeclue]

Real Americans believe in "Give me liberty or give me death" and "Live free or die". They don't believe as you apparently believe "Better alive than free".

The President is not charged with protecting our safety or our persons.

The President is charged with protecting the Constitution.

Read Article II of the Constitution and you will see what I mean.

FISA grants these warrants with a rubber stamp nonetheless, having rejected only a handful out of 19,000 plus in 25 years. The President has a duty to obey the law and preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution. He can get search warrants under the FISA law up to 72 hours after the fact which grants him plenty of time to get them rubber stamped.

Yet he failed to do so. This can only be because the government was engaged in total surveillance of every phone call on the planet which is so many miles over the line that it isn't even funny. There can be no justification for this. Bush belongs in jail.
