C'mon, that's pure laziness. You're using the cartoonish, pathetic, caricature of the Senator. Go after her on policy if you're a conservative. But these kinds of phrases are an embarassment to you. Thought you were the thinking conservative! eye - based on your other posts, I expected better - this kind of talk is just lame and hackneyed:

C’mon, that’s pure laziness. You’re using the cartoonish, pathetic, caricature of the Senator. Go after her on policy if you’re a conservative. But these kinds of phrases are an embarassment to you. Thought you were the thinking conservative!

There's no reason to be credulous on that point, and a lot of reason not to -- they always had the capability to get warrants to spy on "America's enemies," even after the fact. Thus, the only reason they would want to spy without warrants is that they want to spy on people who they couldn't get warrants against. Since you seem to acknowledge in your post that you believe there are people who it would be inappropriate to spy on, I don't see why you'd think unfettered spying could be anything but a bad thing. Especially when it's a tool that could easily fall into the hands of Hillary Clinton.
