Maxx1000: you assume so much and know so little. Simply because I don't whole heartedly agree with you (or at all for that matter) doesn't mean any of the things you said. In fact, I don't even thing you know what they mean.

You're right I know nothing of the Constitution, all that time I wasted in law school reading about it taught me nothing.

1) FISA WAS ENACTED UNDER CARTER...read it again if you are having trouble.

2) How our justice system works? They arrest you before they try you right? Guilty or not.

3) 4th Amendment protections don't cover Afghan nationals. Bin Laden doesn't have your right. Again: Bush has always said, and they have found, that Bush followed procedure on American citizens.

What "civil rights" does Darcy think we lost with renewal of the FISA bill?

We lost our right to make phone calls to al Qaeda. Oh, and we never had that right to begin with, but the FISA bill means we still don't have it. Oh, and we can still make phone calls to al Qaeda, but the government's going to listen in on them.

Quit being ridiculous. There is nothing in the new FISA law about calling Al Qaeda. It actually authorizes the government to do random searches of all phone calls, not just to Al Qaeda. It completely removes the need to show probable cause before the search. We lost the right to make calls in privacy to anyone.

Maybe you should understand the workings of the Constitution and its amendments. Take a careful look at the 4th (search and seizure) and 14th (one part is privacy) amendments.

You haven't read the PATRIOT Act, have you? Please cite the chapter and verse you speak of. Privacy in the 14th amendment? WOW!!!! You have not read that either, have you? I love these people arguing on Youtube about what is said in something they have never read.

Idiot. Your about as smart as Bush. They're wiretapping Americans going about their daily business, not calling Alqueda.

Like I said, cite it. If it is so prevalent then you should have absolutely no trouble finding the section in the PATRIOT Act that allows them to do it.
