Look Out, Wall Street: Feds Using Wiretaps Now

I'm fine with wiretaps as long as there's a warrant and probable cause. My issues are with the Bush Administration and the Patriot Act, which did away with these requirements. How about the tea baggers start raving against the republicans, since they were the ones undoing the constitution?

I'm fine with warranted wiretaps. That means there's probable cause that those being overheard are breaking the law....and I bet you dollars to doughnuts those assholes on Wall Street who think they're Masters of the Fucking Universe are colluding their asses off to make fortunes with OUR MONEY. Listen, in terms of destructive power, our home-grown finance guys have done more damage in the past 3 years than the past decade of Islamic Terrorism...more maybe than ALL international terror EVER. I'm sure the lives of many people in law enforcement have been harmed by Wall Street adventurers; its only fair that they should be the ones to bring the wrong-doers to justice. Oh, and why aren't our elected representatives as angry as I am? I'll give you 3 guesses -- and the first two don't count, since you already know the answer! Its the same answer as for the "why is health care insurance reform so difficult?" and that is: because of MONEY! Money in the pockets of people charged with making laws, and money in pockets of people who enforce the laws. Get over any naive view you may have about our nation and just admit it: we have the best government money can buy.
