(62,325 posts)obtain a warrant before the collection of data. When Bush and his gang of criminals broke the law, we screamed for an investigation, impeachment, anything to try to stop them from destroying this country.
But instead, we got the 'retroactively revised' version of the FISA Bill, retroactive to protect Bush and the telecoms from prosecution.
How wonderful is it to be able to break the law and then have the US Congress (Obama had stated he would not vote for the revised bill, but sadly, he did), members of both parties, actually CHANGE the law, retroactively, to cover for your crimes.
The original bill wasn't great, secret courts are an anathema to any Democracy, but it was way better than the current version.
And now John Bolton has come out in praise of Obama, along with Peter King and the grand master of deceit and lies himself, Dick Cheney.
If only they had all been prosecuted for their crimes. But we had to 'move forward'.
AND btw, the President himself stated that he had 'kept Bush's policies' in his statement last week, so no, our new best friends from the old Bush war criminal club, are not wrong, they are happy that a Democrat has as the president said, 'kept Bush's policies'.
They must be all having a good laugh at us. We were so naive back in 2008.
