FISA

Back to this same old topic...

I know I'm supposed to, you know, like constitutional rights 'n civil liberties 'n all, and want the government to respect the people's right to be free from unreasonable search & seizure and all that. And in certain contexts, I do.

But for some strange reason, things like FISA don't really bug me all that much. Even though my current company line, of course, takes the Very Opposite Approach. I guess this is where my political outlook collapses in contradictions. In, say, the national security context I'm okay with the gov't eavesdropping and wiretapping, but in other context, I want to suppress evidence illegally obtained!

Strangeness abounds... I guess I don't have much respect for the rule of law. Yikes.
