Roving liartaps

AP:
Presidential adviser Karl Rove criticized a federal judge's order for an immediate end to the government's warrantless surveillance program, saying Wednesday such a program might have prevented the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Rove said the government should be free to listen if al Qaeda is calling someone within the U.S.

"Imagine if we could have done that before 9/11. It might have been a different outcome," he said.
No need to imagine, Turd Blossom. You could and did do that before 9/11, and legally, through the absurdly lenient FISA process. But you preferred to break the law, apparently just to show that you could get away with it.

One amendment we do need to the Constitution--any administration that attempts to use its own massive screwups to political advantage should be dissolved and replaced immediately. They ignored the warnings, stood down most of the air defense system, reacted slowly and incoherently, and covered up most of the evidence. While you're playing John Lennon, Turd Blossom--imagine if we had a competent, well-intentioned administration. It's easy if you try. You, Turd Blossom, would be out of a job.
