"19,000 Warrants Issued by FISA Court"

Only five were turned down. According to author James Bamford "The Puzzle Palace:Inside America's Most Secret Intelligence Organization".

He made this point while debating the Bush "spying on citizens" issue with fascist Victoria Toensing on C-SPAN.

FISA is not hindering the ability of the administration's ability to keep us safe. Pass it along.

1. I was hoping I wasn't the only one watching this.

That womand is beyond the pale. Here is an example she tried to use:

You find Osama Bin Laden's cell phone, and you can't get a warrant for the numbers in his call list because you don't have propable cause, so therefore it's okay to break the law.

Does this idiot actually think the FISA court would turn down a warrant on OBL's cell phone numbers? Give me a break!

I've been literally yelling at my TV...

6. We also heard some right-wing nimrod caller on CSPAN

this morning with a typical talking point story: (imagine the most nerdy, inbred, mouth-breathing voice you can)"If your wife was pregnant and you had to rush her to the hospital and the speed limit was 55 and you knew that if you didn't drive 70 she would die, what would you do?"
Sheeesh!
