I think my dad has helped me tremendously.

When you couple this militarization of law enforcement with an erosion of civil liberties and due process that allows the police to become judge and jury - national security letters, no-knock searches, broad general warrants, pre-conviction forfeiture - we begin to have a very serious problem on our hands.

I think we defeat terrorism by showing them that we do not fear them.

What is immoral for an individual to do, is immoral for a government to do

Do we fear terrorism so much that we throw out our Constitution, and are we unwilling and afraid to debate our Constitution?

If congress refuses to obey its own rules. If congress refuses to pass a balanced budget. If congress refuses to read the Bills. Then I say, sweep the place clean, limit their terms, and send them HOME!

The government has investigated our program of collecting through a generalized fashion, everyone's phone records in the country. And they found that no terrorist case has been thwarted through this.
