They are already at a stage where they have absolute autonomy when they say the word terror(ist/ism). Or suggest that bad guys might happen. Or a squirrel farts outside the Pentagon. There isn't any oversight whatsoever.
Obama's latest bullshit about not being able to have 100% security and 100% liberty (or some such nonsense) is ridiculous on the face of it; they are shredding the constitution and we have no more security than we did in the 80's. When we could still travel.
We were burned on Obama. You may be willing to give him a pass; I will not. Sorry.
