1. And the Republicans claim to be such ardent supporters of the Constitution.

They aren't. The hypocrites.

But Americans pay no attention.

My phone calls and e-mails are uncontroversial. And I don't have teenagers or rebellious family members.

But I care about the Fourth Amendment. It is basically the same as an earlier version written by John Adams.

Does McConnell and do our current intelligence officers think they are smarter than John Adams was? Do they think they know better than John Adams and Thomas Jefferson and John Hancock and those who set off our American Revolution?

Why does McConnell love the general warrants that our Founding Fathers found so intrusive that they fought a revolution over them?
