Overheard by the new boys of Wonkette at this morning's defense of the President's assertion that he's above the perfectly good system we already have in place to get warrants to spy on Americans, by our second favourite AG, Mr. Gonzales, before the Senate Judiciary Committee:

wonkette: Sessions: “Nearly 3,000 people have no civil rights anymore. They're no longer with us. Due to a terrorist attack.”
wonkette: ???
operative: so, wait, by taking just a few civil liberties from all citizens, can we restore all the civil liberties to people who died on 9/11? is it like the march of dimes?

Also, is it possible to paint FISA as a living document while demanding an originalist interpretation of the Constitution?
