A Reverse for Liberty

Unfortunately the undesirable compromise seems to have emerged. Apparently part of the compromise was reducing the term of the renewal from five years to two, so that Trump could potentially sit on the next renewal as President. I assume that means that the fortifiers of democracy are fairly certain that the election can be stolen fortified; but perhaps they’re simply desperate to keep the power to spy warrantlessly on the people through the election.

Another highly-regarded blogger has stated (not "suggested") that the 3-letters WILL ignore the law's restrictions anyway.

So why bother with restrictions?

It's all kabuki.

It must matter or they wouldn’t bother fighting for it. Maybe they worry that at least some courts might try to hold them to the law.
