Democrats and Republicans Defend NSA Snooping
Katie Pavlich | Jun 10, 2013

Over the weekend, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden publicly revealed his identity and told the world he was the guy who exposed vast snooping on U.S. citizens by the U.S. government. Naturally, the White House and Congress have been asked to respond to NSA actions. Both Democrats and Republicans are defending the secret monitoring of hundreds of millions of American phone calls each day.

Republican Senator John McCain on CNN Sunday:

Arizona Senator and former GOP Presidential candidate John McCain said Sunday the threat of terrorism in the United States “is getting worse,” and this validates the government’s controversial monitoring of all telephone calls and emails placed in the country.

Appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union” McCain responded to host Candy Crowley asking if McCain had a problem with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) program, he answered, “No, not really.”

“I think we have to understand this issue in the context of what also has been going on,” McCain said. “I believe that the FISA Court system is an appropriate way of reviewing some of these policies. If this was Sept. 12, 2001, we might not be having the argument that we are having today.”

McCain continued to dismiss any concerns over privacy, saying it’s a “balancing act” and then targeted his fellows Senators.

He has to know he's going to get mammoth blow back for defending the administration's illegal and unconstitutional behaviors.

When the Justice Dept is forced to release the judge's secret decision, all will be clear.

He's done.

Yes, but whatever is motivating him to defend them is exerting a greater influence on him that is a probable mammoth blow-back.

People are almost always motivated by their own perceived self-interest.

Screw them all!
