Feinstein Kicks the Fourth in the Face with Obscene Intelligence Bill

More evidence Congress is in bed with the spooks and the underwear drawer sniffer brigade.

On Friday, we learned that constitutional traitor and control freak gun-grabber Dianne Feinstein’s FISA (secret court) bill was given the thumbs up by the Senate Intelligence Committee. The legislation will give a blank check to the Stasi mutants over at the NSA.

Julian Sanchez at CATO gives us the skinny:

The bill for the first time explicitly authorizes, and therefore entrenches in statute, the bulk collection of communications records, subject to more or less the same rules already imposed by the FISA Court. It endorses, rather than prohibits, what the NSA is already doing. Moreover, it imposes those restrictions only with respect to bulk collection of communications records—which is dangerous, because it signals to the FISA Court that Congress implicitly endorses the use of Section 215 to collect other records in bulk without comparable restrictions. (The key phrase “acquisition in bulk,” incidentally, does not appear to be given any concrete definition.)

What is it about "Foreign" in FISA that these fcks don't understand.

What is it about "Foreign" in FISA that these fcks don't understand.

What is it about "Commerce" in the Commerce Clause they don't understand?  They, of course, understand perfectly well. They understand that they have not been made to adhere to a modicum of intellectual honesty, so they proceed apace.
