Hillary Clinton 'Deeply Disturbed' Over NSA Surveillance

Actually, I thought the article's title was complete after just 4 words. At least that's my conclusion after hearing some of her biggest screams...I mean speeches.

Hillary's acting upset because the Bush Administration is following the law that her husband signed into law in 1994. She isn't really upset; she's just faking it. Here's a glimpse into her faux diatribe:
Mrs. Clinton suggested that using phone records to track down terrorists was unconstitutional, saying the latest NSA revelations "further demonstrate what happens to our Constitution, laws, and privacy when there is no meaningful congressional oversight of the president's actions." She urged Congress to "get the bottom of this. I join my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in demanding answers about the NSA's domestic surveillance program and the NSA's use of Americans' phone records. We must defend our homeland while also defending our Constitution, laws, and privacy."
What a pile of BS. Using phone records isn't unconstitutional; it's the law of the land. The law that allows it is called the "Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act", something that I wrote about earlier this week.

Hillary's contrived diatribe is just one part of the Democrats' contrived diatribe on this. Patrick Leahy angrily shook a copy of the USA Today headline in mock anger just a dozen years after he voted for the bill that governs the collecting of phone records.

Based on their diatribes, perhaps we should conclude that they're more worried about potential privacy rights than about protecting the American people.

Leahy and Hillary better do more research before they throw any more temper tantrums. They looked like fools this time.

Then again, what should we expect from a woman who's "deeply disturbed"?
