Re: Calling all Republicans to explain what's going on.

The best explanation I've heard so far is the one liner that the president and several republican reps and senators have been saying for a long time now: "We are doing what is necessary to insure the safety of the American people."
Look, it's not that Dems are saying that we shouldn't listen in on calls. That is a bunch of fear mongering BS put out by the Republicans to once again scare people into winning them an election. Instead, Deems are saying that you need to get a friggen search warrant. I mean, seriously, if they're such terrible people (the ones being "spied upon") getting a search warrant should be no big deal...correct? Why all the fuss, just get a search warrant and the problem is solved.

It's more complicated than that and you may be hearing from a very bias perspective (mine), so sucks for you for not keeping track of the politics.
Actually, it's not really that complicated. Simply follow the law(s) we already have.

With that said, if it's as simple as you say it is, how come the dems aren't screaming their heads off to make the public more aware of what's going on?
Because I, like yourself, am not a politician so I see no difficutly. It is simple...follow the law. However, simply because one group of Politicians can't do that, while another group seems incapable of "screaming their heads off", does not make the issue complicated.
