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

      You used oppty of calls for Snowden pardon to do post (will still respond) claiming NSA oversight adequate. How different?

      Well, for starters, I'm not a sitting US Senator 5 days before an historically important election.

      I don't care about the underlying opinion. But a "see, this confirms my prior beliefs" statement helps nothing and may harm.

      Moreover *this is democracy*. Claiming credit when right is fundamental to democracy. W/o it we've eschewed rationality.

      I disagree w/ your premise, but more to point stakes are sufficiently high to temporarily set aside self-righteous tut-tutting.

      I expect more from Wyden. And Burr. And all of them, who know damn well what's a stake.

      I'm confused. You're asking for democracy to stop being democracy to defeat someone who is anti-democratic.

          We're more robust than that, unless we begin believing we're not, and in the process killing democracy to save it.

          Democracy? I'm not suggesting he not be allowed to express his opinion. I'm disappointed by ineffective leadership.

          I'm not sure what you expect elected representatives to do to be effective if there's no accountability.

          You might instead embrace this as one of the few normal things about this election.
