Instead, this goosestepping fascist wants the NSA to grab even more private information from American citizens. It seems that he has totally missed the response to Edward Snowden’s information dump. Here are the details on this knothead’s ideas of defending the Constitution from USA Today<\/a>:<\/p>\n Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker said Wednesday he was shocked to learn this week how little data the National Security Agency is actually amassing in its controversial collection of Americans’ phone records.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n He’s shocked that they aren’t snarfing up enough? Has he been listening to the complaints people have been making over what they have been grabbing?<\/p>\n “It’s almost malpractice,” Corker said at a breakfast for reporters hosted by The Christian Science Monitor. “That’s the best word I can use to describe the amount of data that is being collected.”<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n No dumbass, it’s called a violation of the 4th<\/sup> Amendment.<\/p>\n Corker, who said the NSA’s data collection needs to be “ramped up hugely”, was reacting to a closed-door briefing that national security officials held Tuesday to brief senators on federal surveillance programs. That briefing was organized by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who is seeking to renew the NSA’s surveillance program without changes. Participants included FBI Director James Comey and Admiral Mike Rogers, director of the National Security Agency.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n McConnell is another disgrace who lied his way back into office. He, like his butt buddy Corker, think that a police state is just what this country needs.<\/p>\n “I think there was an aha moment (Tuesday) for people on both sides of the aisle when we realized how little data is being collected,” said Corker, R-Tenn. “It’s beyond belief how little data is part of this program, especially if the goal is to uncover terrorists.”<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Here’s the problem muttenhead. It hasn’t caught a single one. Terrorists are smart enough to know that they are, or can be monitored electronically. That’s what Bin Laden didn’t have any cell phones or internet access at his fortress of goatbachury.<\/p>\n He called the revelations “a potential game changer” in the debate over the future of the NSA program and predicted that it may result in a short-term extension of the program while senators debate what to do next. The phone data collection program has been conducted under Section 215 of the sweeping Patriot Act anti-terrorism law. That section and other provisions of the Patriot Act are set to expire on June 1 unless Congress acts. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n When they passed the Patriot Act in 2001, I was not a fan of it. I saw it as just another attempt by Congress to show they are relevant. It was slammed through in a panic and as we have seen, has done nothing to protect America. In fact, it’s made America a less safe country and has seriously damaged out liberties. Even the author of the bill, James Sensenbrenner, said it’s been horribly abused by various government agencies. This is why he wrote the Freedom Act which is designed to stop the worst abuses of the Patriot act.<\/p>\n The House on Wednesday is poised to pass the USA Freedom Act, which would amend the Patriot Act to bar the NSA from collecting phone records on millions of Americans not suspected of any terrorist activity.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n It’s not a perfect bill, but it’s a start. I’m also in favor of dismantling the Department of Homeland Security and the Travel Safety Administration. (TSA) And in the \u201cHell has frozen over\u201d segment of this post, I’m actually agreeing with a California moonbat.<\/p>\n Rep. Adam Schiff of California, the senior Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee and a supporter of the USA Freedom Act, said Corker is missing the point. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n “The overriding challenge for the intelligence community in a world awash in electronic data is not the amount of collection, it’s about acquiring only the data you need and being able to make sense of it,” Schiff said. “We don’t need to just collect ever increasing amounts of data, we need to be smart and judicious. We need to have lawful, privacy-protecting tools to collect the right data and then to have the tools to decipher it efficiently and effectively.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n DING! DING! DING! DING! We have a winner! The NSA is getting so much information in, they can’t handle it. They don’t bother with any kind of filtering on potential threats, they just snarf up everything they can and store it until they can start digging through it. That usually happens a few months after a terrorist attack they missed.<\/p>\n I’ve always known that the NSA gathers information on American’s communications. It would be impossible for them not to. I just thought, like most people, that the NSA simply discarded anything they scooped up by mistake. Now, we know that isn’t the case.<\/p>\n The NSA program was revealed in 2013 by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, prompting lawmakers on both the right and left to try to rein in what some critics have called a “surveillance state.” Just this month, a three-judge panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the NSA’s mass phone data collection program is illegal and goes beyond what Congress intended when it passed the Patriot Act in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against the USA.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Eric Snowden is both a white hat and a black hat in this. I know someone, a retired Army Colonel and a reformed lawyer, (Gave up his law license), who was all set to put Bradley Manning up against a wall. (And still is) However, he had a slightly different take on Snowden. He thinks that Snowden does need to be tried, (he did break a number of laws), but isn’t so sure that he should be convicted. He’s thinking that Snowden, who didn’t intend to aid the enemy, only expose what was being done to Americans, should be acquitted. I’ve been thinking long and hard and tend to agree. He should be tried, but the jury should let him walk. As for Corker and McConnell? They to should walk. A very long walk off a very short pier.<\/p>\n Thatisall<\/p>\n ~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n [yasr_visitor_votes size=”medium”]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Good day all. I come here today, not to praise Senator Robert Corker, (Rino-TN), but to dump heaping piles of abuse upon him. Corker is Chairman of the Senate Intelligence committee, and is the one who should be clamping down on the slurping up of everyone’s digital life by the NSA.
