Obama administration asks Supreme Court to allow warrantless cellphone searches

22. Why don't we spend some time in trying to get the Patriot Act

and FISA provisions repealed or seriously amended? I find this whole personalities war to be idiotic, given that the laws remain on the books without any discernible discussion of them beyond the insistence that everyone focus on personalities while being told that it is not about personalities but the law.

BTW, I am a supporter of the President, have never liked Greenwald ever and still don't like him, and way back when the Patriot Act was being legislated and the FISA provisions were being put in place, I did a huge amount of giving feedback to Congress around this legislation because I did not agree with any iteration of it. As for the technology combined with the legislation, there is truth to the observation that one could surmise the future applications of both and can be not surprised when seeing that those applications have occurred.

I would love to hear voices loudly lifted with as much zeal as the personality wars on lending support to changing legislation and the intelligence gathering organizations of this nation.
