"You guys will assume that there is really a nefarious reason the President wants to spy on innocents, and I will assume that he is doing his constitutional duty to protect us."

The point to me is not even about this president. It is about the system we have and about checks and balances and about under what circumstances a president has the right to sidestep the system of checks and balances. To me it is a given that a system that fails in it's checks and balances will become corrupt. We need to preserve the checks and balances. We minimize them at our peril.
