When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so. It's important for our fellow citizens to understand, when you think Patriot Act, constitutional guarantees are in place when it comes to doing what is necessary to protect our homeland, because we value the Constitution.

Test for Brandon:
Was Bush lying to us or was he engaged in a satire of his own?
Take all the time you need to figure it out and then report back with your answer.
With the usual illogic of liberals, you have given me the quotation, but not evidence that it's a lie. Further, it would be better if you would specify which sentences in the above quotation you are calling lies.
I asked YOU if Bush was lying when he made the above-quoted statement.
I don't know, but you can't assert that he was unless you present evidence that he was.
You don't know?
Let's take each sentence and try to figure it out.
True or False:
Now, by the way, any time you hear the United States government talking about wiretap, it requires -- a wiretap requires a court order.
This sentence is: TRUE
A wiretap requires a court order. Sources: United States Constitution, Fourth Amendment; Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act; Title III of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act; Berger v. New York, 388 U.S. 41 (1967), Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967), UNITED STATES v. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT (Keith), 407 U.S. 297 (1972).
Brandon:
Do you agree that the first sentence of Bush's statement (quoted above) is TRUE? If you agree, we can continue this discussion.
