Re: All the disputed requests for anti-terrorism said by Romney2012:And that is OK by me. Get the data first and then worry about paperwork. I don't understand this mentality at all. A law enforcement agency gets caught breaking the law, not one time or two times, but thousands of times, and you don't have the least bit of concern or doubt about their ethics or actions? That's right up there with implicitly trusting a known pathological liar and putting the inmates in charge of the asylum.

That's right up there with implicitly trusting a known pathological liar and putting the inmates in charge of the asylum. Here's the funny part - he supports an executive branch with limitless powers, and calls a legislature "statist". In other words, he wants the president to actually be a King, and thus agencies under the King's purview (including the FBI, NSA, etc) are held to the same laws as any other king would be: NONE.
Of course, the greatest irony, is while our good friend TKJunkMail feels that because the law wasn't "convenient" for the FBI, it should be flaunted, his position on copyright law is that everyone should obey it or change it - period.
Interesting.
If the government ignores a law - "That is ok by me. Get the data first".
If a private citizen ignores a law "DON'T TOUCH THAT DATA!!! IT'S PROTECTED!"

I think the root of the problem lies with people that have the mindset of authority as truth, rather than truth as authority. This probably goes without saying and to me at least, is the major reason for plight in this world.
