What is "interesting" is the effort to go after this guy for exposing the depth of what most of us, and the terrorists, assume--that the government is spying on us, but the effort pales to go after and prevent those "undocumented" folks from residing here and having a far greater effect on our economy, government expenditure, health care and educational facilities, and even our security, than Snowden's little gambit.

"As I say, just another day in the life of the republic: a corrupt bureaucracy dispensing federal gravy to favored clients; a pseudo-legislature passing bills unread by the people’s representatives and uncomprehended by the men who claim to have written them; and a co-regency of jurists torturing an 18th-century document in order to justify what other countries are at least honest enough to recognize as an unprecedented novelty. Whether or not, per Scalia, we should “condemn” the United States Constitution, it might be time to put the poor wee thing out of its misery."
