77. This story is really going to hurt Obama in 2012.
Why isn't anyone running against him? Because his NSA eavesdrops on all the potential contenders. We cannot claim to have a democracy or even a sham of a representative government when our government can eavesdrop on its critics.

This has to change.

Electronic surveillance is incompatible with freedom of speech and assembly and the right to self-government. We can have one or the other. We cannot have both.
