but some super vision. actually that started under bush. that is true. but they did it without authorization first. they had to do something. okay. but obama has never done it without authorization. he came in years later. rand paul and al gore both are denouncing this. it does strike me that there is a trade off here. you are right. he denied it in the past. it remains to me to be shown that this is an unfair thing. i was here for the whole bush administration. i missed the part where we haven t had a debate on this. most people are not aware of that. is the presumption that we
