FISA

I don't completely understand, but I think the telecoms were supposed to keep information private until a warrant was presented. But FISA said no warrant was needed, basically a shoot first, ask questions later type thing. Telecoms violated privacy laws by allowing the taps without warrants.

I could be wrong.

Obama completely reversed his position (I posted links in one of these threads) which is what I am annoyed about. To be expected on stuff, yes. But still annoyed.

As long as Obama's "right" doesn't effect his views on my deciding factors he can move as far "right" as he wants. When it comes down to it they're both going to have to be pretty much center.
