Obama and his administration should be sued and should be impeached, and it's not just for surveillance, the fucking guy is a murderer and he brags about it [youtube.com]. It shouldn't be just an action class lawsuit, it should be a criminal investigation into this mass murderer.

The first thing Obama did was get Congress to sign off on all the domestic spying so that he wouldn't take the fall. They kept doing it all, but now the feds have legal cover. Mind you, I think it's all shamelessly unConstitutional but you probably have to attach the laws.

I think the point was that that the left appears to be anxious to turn America into a prison state, as long as it's their guy running the prison.

Well done for accepting that.
Now what are you going to do about it?
Vote third party. It may not be effective if I am the only one but at least I can sleep with a clean conscience. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still supporting evil, and not voting is a vote for the status quo. However if everyone were to vote with their conscience instead of the lesser of two evils neither of those would win.
