    Let us not forget Clinton's role in this mess

    Bill Clinton signed the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) in 1994, which basically created the hardware that would make possible centralized wiretapping of the public switched telephone network. Those of us at the time who said this was an abuse waiting to happen have been subsequently vindicated. Glenn's rightful disgust with the Democratic Congress needs to acknowledge that Democrats have had a very large and deceitful role to play in this game as well, and for far longer than has been generally recognized.
