as Congress Funds Them:
EXCERPT:
"As Americans recoiled in horror while U.S. lawmakers sheepishly complained and supposedly worked to rein in the Obama administration’s increasingly outrageous usurpation of Congress’ constitutional legislative authority, the White House was releasing a video again boasting of the president’s ongoing unconstitutional plots to bypass the legislature and rule by decree."

Senators Mark Udall and Ted Cruz pressed Vice Admiral Michael Rogers during the hearing, pushing for an assurance that he would seek to end bulk phone records collection. Of course, it was not forthcoming:
OBAMA NSA NOMINEE,
VICE ADMIRAL MICHAEL ROGERS
DEFENDS MASS SURVEILLANCE OF AMERICANS;
RELUCTANT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS;
PLEADS IGNORANCE OF THE JOB:
QUOTE:
"I BELIEVE THAT WE NEED TO MAINTAIN
AN ABILITY TO MAKE QUERIES
OF PHONE RECORDS:
EXCERPT:
"Rogers essentially defended the NSA’s programs and said the status quo should be maintained.
“I believe that we need to maintain an ability to make queries of phone records in a way that is agile and provides results in a timely fashion. Being able to quickly review phone connections associated with terrorists to assess whether a network exists is critical.” he stated.
Rogers added that the most difficult task he faces is to convince Americans the government has their best interests at heart."

Murthy is the president and co-founder of Doctors for America, an organization that melds healthcare and support for gun control legislation."
