If that bothers the taxpayers, then perhaps they should be more careful in the voting booths next time.

- gohrt 13y agoI don't see where Director of the NSA appears on the ballot in my jurisdiction.
- jlgreco 13y agoIf only the problem were so limited...
- jack-r-abbit 13y ago...or anyone at the DoJ ...or the guy from Verizon. Basically the only person in there anyone voted for was Obama. And even then it was barely 50% of the country. I'm beginning to think this isn't a voter issue.
- alan_cx 13y agoI'd love to know which party would have axed this.
- jlgreco 13y agoNeither of course. "All major parties supported this bullshit" is no reason to drop a lawsuit.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoThe same could be said to all those uncomfortable with the NSA snooping. Why make it worse by inflicting a tax burden on everyone with it? Just be more careful next time. ;) You seem to imply that the only people to blame here are those NOT opposed to it. Like there was some magic that discounts all the votes of the people really freaked out by this.
- jlgreco 13y agoI am one of those further burdened taxpayers who is concerned and uncomfortable with NSA snooping. I have friends who were burdened taxpayers as a result of the Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District multi-million dollar settlement; they sure were not all lunatic bible thumpers. It is important that individuals are able to sue their governments for painfully large sums of money, even if that money is ultimately paid with increased taxes. The corrective force lawsuits can apply is more important than a percentage blip on the taxes of voting citizens of a broken government.
