The authoritarian mind revealed:
Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, said in a very derogatory tone:
“The civil libertarians among us would rather defend the constitution than protect our nation’s security.”
Oh the humanity.

Doesn’t “freedom isn’t free” mean anything to Americans who aren’t in uniform? Sorry to belabor the obvious, but being free does carry certain risks – like for instance you might have to make a choice about whom to vote for, or what clothing to wear. You might even have to know that there was a risk out there that you wouldn’t have known about if you’d lived in a “secure” society of the sort Jeff Sessions seems to prefer.

Well, golly Mr.Sessions sir, I guess we should just do away with that pesky constitution (it’s always getting in the way anyhow) and simply focus on building armies.
Sessions — One of the dumber politicians to ever skid across the Senate floor.

I cannot imagine any greater threat to our security than allowing telecoms to be subject to lawsuits.
