I do not support this level of spying, period. However, the ignition of any real movement would certainly be helped by the personal embarrassment of anybody with a large enough mouthpiece. s/Glenn Beck/Rachel Maddow if you want, the point still stands. Somebody has to get really, really worked up over this.

EDIT: As it so happens, Glenn Beck is actually not in favor of this type of surveillance. I would have never guessed. I thought I was pretty safe in that assumption.

We're well beyond the Left-vs-Right model on this. Like armed drone usage, support or opposition doesn't run along party lines.

Isn't Glenn Beck a strong Constitutionalist? I was always under the impression that was his entire platform.

He's an American Exceptionalist, given his historical support of torture and "if you're not with us you're against us" attitude.

He is, but I made the assumption that due to his other markedly hawk-ish opinions that he might have suspended liberty in favor of security. I do not say this often, but it seems like Glenn Beck and I are on the same page on this issue.
