The world is not black and white

I read yesterday about the ruling against the warrantless wiretapping and checked out the live vote at MSNBC to see how the people were reacting. Last night 39% of the people who had voted there did not believe that warrantless wiretapping was unconstitutional.

I was shocked until I started reading the responses. Apparently, there was no distintion in their minds between NO wiretapping at all and the government needing WARRANTS to carry out the wiretapping. In their minds, if you are against warrantless wiretapping then you must be against all wiretapping and for the terrorists.

Somehow the word WARRANTLESS was glossed over.

How did this happen? How can it be so skewed?

I've been over this before, but the 4th Ammendment protects U.S. citizens from WARRANTLESS searches and seizures. That includes wiretapping. As a U.S. citizen who is against WARRANTLESS wiretapping, all I'm asking is that government make their case, prove that they have probable cause, get a warrant first. Then they can wiretap away.

I am an American. I believe in the Constitution. I am not for the terrorists. I am for America and everything she stands for.
