It's called "DOING YOUR JOB," nitwits.
You've probably seen that District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor did the right thing and "ruled...that the government's warrantless surveillance program is unconstitutional and ordered an immediate end to it."
The sound you might be hearing in the wake of this decision is a whole lotta wailing and gnashing of teeth from the twitnuts, who seem to think the "hard"-est work...is paperwork.
W...T...F?
I've asked this (rhetorical) question before...but it's worth asking again, because it seems to have gotten lost amid all the hyperbole and hot air:
What's the problem with getting a warrant?
Hell, first, we're talking for the most part about FISA warrants anyway, which allow UP TO THREE DAYS DELAY in even applying for the goddamned thing...though, at this point, I wish someone would flat out point out the obvious: if the assclowns running the show AREN'T able to obtain warrants BEFORE THE FACT, FISA or regular, well, that pretty much means they HAVEN'T BEEN DOING THEIR JOBS.
If they ARE, in fact, ever vigilant in their investigations, then they SHOULD have a pretty good idea of who they need to go after AND they SHOULDN'T have any problem providing the probable cause required for a regular warrant (and I think the standards are REDUCED for a FISA warrant).
But this debate isn't really about warrants, FISA or regular. It's about a group of overgrown adolescents who DEMAND the "right" to break the law. Terrorism? They don't give a damn about it, except as a tool to use in political campaigns.
Which is all the more reason to throw the bastards out of office...
