This I really love. ABC News finally finds a "Constitutional scholar" who believes that the NSA's surveillance of international communications between al Qaeda agents overseas and people in the United States are illegal.

Barbara Boxer (Dumb-Calif.) has been crying "impeachment" to anyone who will listen. Well, I predicted it and now we've got a poll […]
