Bush chose not to follow FISA after 9-11, even though the secret FISA Court turned down only five warrant applications, of over 18,000, since its inception. That was too burdensome for him, in light of his personality disorder which dictates that he resents the very notion that a President should have to share power with anyone, particularly the hated judiciary.
My interpretation has always been this: the five warrants are a red herring. The real game is the big brother machines, doing 24/7/365 domestic surveillance.Posted at June 26, 2008 11:47 PM in response to More friendly fire: Greenwald Edition

I've been noting some of your comments on these FISA threads, and I see your point. I think a rough analogy might be a given libertarian's position on right to bear, maybe a position that is informed by common sense, some Ayn Rand, and a cursory reading of both the Federalist Papers and the Constitution. On the left we will often ridicule this libertarian's position as ignorant, and with good reason-- he hasn't done his homework. As you point out, there is a massive amount of scholarship that lies a level above the education I noted- law school, sociological research, policy analysis, etc. In addition, as you also point out, ideological purity is rarely practical politically. All of this I grant.
However. In my rough analogy, wouldn't you grant that my ignorant libertarian has a friend in the educated libertarian? Is there not a class of libertarian humanity that is aware of that higher level of education you cite, that has both mastered its nuances and been humbled by them, that has studied and tested policies that could feasibly implement a mitigated form of its ideals?
And let me finally complete the analogy and point to Glen Greenwald on this issue. (This is my deus ex greenwald card I play, to win any argument). And just to be clear, hear I am not talking about liberatarianism or the right to bear; I'm talking about civil rights, the fourth, and FISA. Greenwald would be analogous to this educated libertarian I have imagined. He's aware of those issues you cite, and addresses them head on. And I find him on the side of this issue that is opposite from you.
