MissileMan said:The law protects citizens from unreasonable searches. I find the actions of the administration very reasonable under the circumstances. I would consider it unreasonable for the feds to not do everything necessary to protect us.

Do you really want the President to be a law unto himself? Would you really want Hillary Clinton to have such unbridled power? I know I wouldn't.

Bullypulpit said:He does have the authority to gather intel, but it must be within the framework of the Constitution and federal law. Neither he, nor any other member of the government, is above the law.
