Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      @trevortimm Are you talking about the 60s and 70s, or 2001-7?

      @trevortimm Disagree. We need to exorcise the ghosts of Watergate, COINTELPRO, etc. Nobody would dare, and if they did, they'd get caught.

      @KenDilanianLAT But the piece was about if there were no laws. If there were no laws, someone would no doubt dare.

      @trevortimm Is there mass media in this thought experiment? Because even without laws, they would suffer. ie: http://www.businessinsider.com/nsa-recruiters-grilled-by-wisconsin-students-2013-7 …

      @KenDilanianLAT Even though the Bush admin ignored many laws, Cheney still wanted the NSA to go farther, but they wouldn't.

      @kendilanianlat Is it really out of the realm of possibility someone like Cheney wouldn't abuse the system if literally no laws stopped him?

      @trevortimm no, but I'm just saying it would become public eventually and would not be tolerated.

      @KenDilanianLAT Maybe eventually, but 2001 NSA stuff took four years to become public. Secrets can last long enough to do real damage.
