Re: They should be Fired Funny how one would reasonably expect the same to apply in reverse, yet it doesn't.
It seems, more and more, that a reasonable expectation of privacy is a luxury which only applies to celebrities and criminals (politicians fit under the latter, of course).
How ironic then that Obama voted for teleco immunity after saying he wouldn't. I guess it's ok for the government to spy on the people, but not the people to spy on the government. Even more ironic, considering that one is suppliant to the other (namely, the government is suppliant to the people, not the other way around. The burden is on them to prove their service to the public good, not the other way around.)
Perhaps it's due to the gullibility of the average voter that there isn't enough public scrutiny to require high-ranking political officials to disclose a bunch of personal information (of which phone records would be one) before becoming an elected official.
Employees accessing political records isn't a laughing matter, but there's been plenty personal information snooping from both sides (*cough* palin *cough*) to go around this election.

Homeland Security goon squads will have the power to enter any American home, without a search warrant, without probable cause, simply because someone somewhere says “hey, this guy might be a threat.” No checks and balances, no due process. Nothing."
