Cite your sources, please. I'd be interested in reading a legitimate claim to this as a link to a credible source rather than taking the top post for face value

  This hardly seems worth asking for. Do they not have Google in your neck of the woods?

    No, I'd say that's a fair request. This Senator is asking some important questions in a very succinct way that could bring reform, and tptacek is publicly trying to discredit and undermine him. tptacek should support that statement.

      I think chc's point is that it takes less time to google "Cornyn Guantanamo" and "Cornyn wiretapping" than it does to post the question here, and will produce a better answer to boot.

        And I think ddrt's point is that even if one does google as you're saying, they may not end up with the same information that had the person arrive at the conclusion. In this case its valid. Yes we can google it, everyone here knows how to do that. The bigger problem is knowing from where people got their information.

          Hey, if you Googled it and somehow ended up with the impression that Cornyn might have supported granting Habeas Corpus rights and opposed the Bush Administration's wiretapping, that would definitely be worth a post raising the issue. But that wouldn't happen, because this isn't a fuzzy or subjective matter. A Senator's stances on issues like these are simple, objective, easily falsifiable facts. This is one or two steps away from demanding a citation for "Barack Obama is a Democrat." Like, if you can't easily figure out for yourself whether it's true or false, the only possible reason is that you didn't care enough to try.
