George W. Bush's domestic spying

"Only months after the events of September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush signed a presidential order in 2002 which "secretly authorized the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on Americans and others inside the United States to search for evidence of terrorist activity without the court-approved warrants ordinarily required for domestic spying, according to government officials," James Risen and Eric Lichtblau reported in the December 15, 2005, New York Times. "

    But now YOU are saying that it's wrong to spy on protesters when before, during Bush, you were all for it. So why now? Is it because you're party isn't in power anymore?
    
    Hypocrite.

        He supported the wiretapping of people who call nations that support terrorism. How is that anywhere near the same as supporting the spying on Americans and political rallies?

        Um...there are several articles on here of the Bush administration spying on people who attended rallies against him. You just choose not to remember them.

        Yes. He did. Because he sure didn't have a problem when Bush was doing the spying on American citizens.

    "Speaking of "domestic spying," did you libbies notice how it's still being used by Obama?..."
    
    --How else is he gonna find out what Bush, Cheney, Rove, and Rummy were really up to? I care as much about this as cons cared about millions of missing WH e-mails and massive Justice Department corruption. ZILCH
