    Orbitboy:

    Not sure if you just don't think I'm a "troll" now, but I asked you a question above in case you missed it. I've reviewed the "offending" portion of the Comey testimony over at ThinkProgress and don't see anything that Card or Gonzales did that was illegal. The "Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act" is NOT the "exclusive" authority for all electronic surveillance -- not as long as the President is Commander-in-Chief -- regardless of what OLC determined, a good faith argument for extending the law could have been made. I hereby certify, under penalty of perjury, to not reading any talking points on the issue. Is that enough "judgment passed" for you?
