    Wait, is Abe now monitoring thoughts and prayers from his log cabin in the sky? That's taking it too far.

    I think tapping is getting bad press. What did Gregory Hines ever do to you?

    Let's not forget its best use: tapping dat ass. Now who could be against that?

    I talk to Abe every night. I told him about the unauthorized tapping of phone, internet, etc conversations. Abe asked "what's a phone?"; I told him.

    Abe said the wire-tapping was cool.

    By suspending habeas corpus, Lincoln was going against English-American legal precedent.

    Lincoln didn't throw thousands, or hundreds, or even tens of people into jail without habeas corpus, only a few. The NSA is scanning ALL of the nation's telecommunications, and its still going on. There's a real difference beteween then and now.

    I don't think we live in a police state. But one of the defining characteristics of a police state is ongoing spying without warrants. I'm trying to reconcile these two statements, but the more I think about it the harder it is for me to reconcile this contradiction. Its very disturbing. You guys seem to have no problem with it. Am I missing something?

    "It overturns centuries of English-American legal precedent."

    Crossing the line of spying without warrants is the point of no return. It sets a really terrible precedent -- every future chief executive can now claim they can do it. It overturns centuries of English-American legal precedent.

    The NSA has access to ALL of our telecommunications, and we have to TRUST THEM TO THEIR WORD that they will only survey those that are relevant. That defeats the whole point of a warrant, the whole point of checks and balances. It is (or was) the difference between the U.S.A and K.G.B.

    If people are even saying that they are making a "compelling case," it means they've already won.

    I listened to hours of the Senate giving their speeches about Alito and both made strong arguments. However, the Democrats major concerns were speculative, not fact base driven. Who knows? He may be closet Nazi.

    I also listened to many debates over the so called espionage wire taping and both side made compelling cases. The side for it, made a strong case about what the founding fathers saw as a dictatorship by the Senate and stripping the Executive branch of Commander in Chief. The other side, against it, made the obvious, right to privacy notes. The part that concerns me is: If they enact the wire taping as it is presented, it seems to be legitimate. But then again, that's how Income Tax started. They started very small and then it has spun out-of-control.
