If he had to get a FISA warrant with some judicial oversight, I would be the first to vote for a referendum proposition in favor of tracking foreign terrorists talking to US citizens. See, you would have answered "yes" to that question, too. You can't ask the general public about the technical and structural aspect. They just know know enough. It's up to the lawmakers to sort out warrants and oversight and all that. And a lot of people don't seem to get that. That's what makes me sad. I share your frustration with the people who should know better. But IMO they're just loud mouthed know-nothings driven usually my partisanship. If we can keep the partisanship down to a dull roar, those in the loop can come up with something that addresses both the bottom line and the structural and technical elements.
