I think there has been a few of us who have been warning about this, and voted against the Patriot Act, voted against these FISA courts. So it doesn't surprise me a bit.
The greatest danger when we accept the notion that the government is supposed to take care of us from cradle to grave and we're supposed to be the policemen of the world is that ultimately it's down at the expense of personal liberty.
Power in government is almost always abused and this is abuse and it isn't Democrats and it isn't Republicans, it's both of them.
