The failure to act means the NSA will immediately begin curtailing its searches of domestic phone records for connections to international terrorists. The Justice Department said in a statement that it will take time to taper off the collection process from the phone companies. That process began Friday, said an administration official who would not be identified because he was not authorized to discuss

Ok, we'll follow the constitution. Yeah right.

Unfortunately the "tapering" process could last for decades.

I honestly wonder if there is anybody who honestly believes this drivel.

I trust the government to honor their promises.

My sarcasm settings have been acting up, did you say you trust the .gov to HONOR something? I don't see those two words together very often, honor & guvment..

Yep, can't be spying on international terrorists. They're protected under the constitution, too, you know.

terrorism charges in the US found that the NSA's dragnet domestic surveillance "had no discernible impact" on preventing terrorist acts. Instead, the majority of threats over the last decade were detected by regular old intelligence and law enforcement methods-tips, informants, CIA and FBI ops, routine law enforcement.

If the .gov was truly concerned about terrorist, they would have the border under control instead of wide open. The .gov says it is keeping us safe by using unconstitutional tools on one hand, on the other the country is wide open to anyone. If they want us to be afraid of terrorist they should at least look like they're trying to stop them.
