NSA spying undermines separation of powers

The program makes it easy for the president to spy on and blackmail his enemies.

I'm confused as to how an executive function misbehaving is an undermining of the separation of powers.

If anything, it's an example of why there should be no such function of a given branch of federal government.

The NSA should not exist. Neither should the DHS, FBI,TSA, ICE, DEA, and so on and so forth. All of these agencies are an abomination.

What's more incredible is an article written by someone who claims to be a journalist but in reality is simply a MSM hack who, like the rest of them, simply overlook REAL facts...ie..

But the temptation to make use of such a power for self-serving political ends is likely to be very great. And, given the secrecy surrounding such programs, outsiders might never know."unquote

Might never know. Right. Well Mr. Halfwit, if you'd bothered to do a 2 minute search on the interweb's you'd find out it's already been documented by ex NSA employee Russ Tice...

Can it be said that all of us are Chicagoians now?

And everyone wondered about how easily the left was able to gain so much information about the plumber who stood up to Obama and questioned his lies.

NSA maybe.
