Just one day after a news that an internal audit found that FBI agents abused a Patriot Act power more than 1000 times, a federal judge ordered the agency Friday to begin turning over thousands of pages of documents related to the agency’s use of a powerful, but extremely secretive investigative tool that can pry into telephone and internet records.
It’s about time. When you have a presidential administration passing rules that it breaks as soon as they hit the paper, you have a government out of control. Our federal government has grown too big and too nasty for its own good. The Executive Branch believes it can control every aspect of people’s lives and disobey the laws that it passes and is sworn to uphold. And people wonder why the majority of the people in the U.S. today don’t trust their government. George W. Bush and his foreign and domestic policies are the perfect reason why. Never has their been a president who gave us more reasons to hate our government. This is the true legacy of the man whose favorite philosopher is Jesus Christ.
