not into who ordered it, or who gathered all the evidence, but into who leaked the existence of the search.

obama has prosecuted more 'leakers' than all previous presidents combined.
yeah, land of the free, with an unfettered freedom of the press. freedom from illegal search and seizure....

I just wish the President would realize the Patriot Act wasn't put in place to listen/watch/harass Patriots but instead to keep them safe. Obviously the Boston bombers weren't part of the public being monitored but then again they weren't Patriots either.

oh bullshit.

The Patriot Act was put in place to strip away the constitution of the united states.

The only thing that has equal, Bi Partisan support in Washington is spying on the citizens and taking away rights. I laugh when someone who is attached to a party blames the other party. They both do it, equally.

When I am President, one of the first things I am going to do is call my Attorney General and say to him, 'I want you to review every executive order that's been issued by George Bush - whether it relates to warrantless wiretaps, or detaining people, or reading emails, or whatever it is - I want you to go through every single one of them.' And if they're unconstitutional, if they're encroaching on civil liberties unnecessarily, we are going to overturn them." Barack Obama, 2007

BROWN: And when you are... if you were to be elected president of the United States, Senator Obama, do you feel that we need to look back if the investigations have been done on this administration find out what happened, because there’s a fear there’s a dangerous precedent being set... the CIA interrogation tapes missing, warrant-less wire tapping, all of these are violations of the Constitution, and people can be forgiven for thinking that it seems like we only enforce the Constitution when its politically expedient.

OBAMA: Well one of things that I’ve said, and I’ve said this repeatedly publicly, since I taught constitutional law for ten years is that...one of my first acts as president is going to be call in my new attorney general to review every single executive order that’s been issued... to overturn those that are undermining the Constitution, undermining our civil liberties, that are promoting this cockamamie theory of Unitary government, that says that somehow the executive branch does not need to obey the Constitution…uhh
