My apologies for taking words out of context (I swear you must have edited) but this imagined attempt of mine to allegedly "wrack up points" is actually an attempt on my part to not let this issue die while the heart of the matter remains. There is no question that the wholesale eavesdropping by the government and its agents upon innocent Americans is an "egregious" violation of the 4th Amendment. Spying on Americans was no good when Hoover did it, it was no good when Nixon did it, and it is still no good today. To add insult to injury our non-elected bureaucrats have repeatedly lied to us regarding the spying because they know that what they are doing is wrong. I cannot sit idly by when my nation has delved into being a police state worthy of the term "Orwellian." There is nothing "hasty and hyperbolic" about calling a spade a spade.
