I love when lawmakers who have considerable authority to set parameters of surveillance programs complain that POTUS isn't doing it for them
@BradMossEsq Oh, we share that. But the NatSec state--especially their contractors--has purchased themselves a very cheap Congress.

@emptywheel And so long as they punt on big issues they'll continue to sound like hypocrites when they complain -
@BradMossEsq I think we have 3 groups: the defenders who don't complain, the silent enablers, and the minority complainers. -
@emptywheel Minority complainers technically split in two; those who are trying to do something and those just scoring political points -
@BradMossEsq Also, there's minority complainers who see way to hurt Obama. -
@emptywheel Cough Rand Paul Cough -
@BradMossEsq Oh, that's not Rand Paul. Paul is just an opportunist playing Tea Party dress-up candidate for POTUS. -
@emptywheel Well, that too but I was disappointed by him. I thought he'd be an ally on transparency/whistleblower front. Hasn't helped -
@BradMossEsq I keep wondering what happened to Jeff Flake. But I think I'm going to keep wondering. - 1 more reply
