So are the Democrats in Congress now drinking the same Kool-Aid as the Republicans?

I think that Congress has given the White House the means to wiretap members of Congress.

The words "reasonably believed" combined with the complete secrecy and no oversight gives them all they need.

Particularly in light of how they have previously so loosely interpreted any law that was problematic to their goals.

Could this be what does turn our government into a permanent Republican majority?
