(128,844 posts)Much of this hang-wringing over Snowden can be better used to MAKE Congress repeal the Patriot Act. The media whoring games that have produced the "Where in the World is Edward Snowden" show and Obama bash-fest while completely ignoring Congress, shows that the Greenwald reality TV distraction works.
Congress has tried 40 times to repeal Obamacare and only recently had an amendment go as far as it did that didn't even repeal the Patriot Act, but attempted to scale it back, which failed.

Here's the guy who should be asked to REPEAL the Patriot Act since he brags about being about "how many laws <he> repeals". MAKE them bring a full repeal to the floor. And keep making them vote on it.
MAKE them amend "Buck Stops Here" Harry Truman's National Security Act. And keep at it with the same vigor that is used against the Executive Branch.
Pick up the phone and ask the Speaker of the House when he will move Patriot Act and NSA repeal bills. Here's the number -
