Snooping on Congress is Tearson

Editor's Note - By way of explanation - "Tearson" is deliberate, as in cry baby whining and a take on claims of treason, so it wasn't a mistake,  and won't be changed. 

Harry Reid: CIA director should apologize for alleged spying on Senate, By Susan Ferrechio
Sen. Harry Reid said CIA Director John Brennan should apologize to Sen. Dianne Feinstein after she accused the intelligence agency of spying on the computers used by the Senate Intelligence Committee.

President Obama declined to take sides Wednesday in a simmering feud between the Central Intelligence Agency and the Senate over whether the agency spied on a congressional panel.

FeinsteinSays Her Constitutional Rights Violated By CIA Search… Yours Still Don’t Matter, March 12, 2014 by Sam Rolley
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) loves the National Security Agency’s spying so much that she routinely pens op-eds telling Americans how much safer we all are when our privacy is constantly violated. Oddly enough, after learning that the CIA did some snooping into her Intelligence Committee’s privacy, Feinstein didn’t run to The Wall Street Journal with an essay about the merits of government snooping in hand.....(ALSO) NSA snooping: Obama under pressure as senator denounces 'act of treason'…..Dianne Feinstein, chairman of the national intelligence committee, has ordered the NSA to review how it limits the exposure of Americans to government surveillance. But she made clear her disapproval of Snowden. "What he did was an act of treason," she said……The Guardian, Monday10 June 2013  


Obama threatens vetoes of bills limiting power, By Justin Sink
The White House on Wednesday threatened to veto a pair of Republican bills that would impose new limits on the president's executive powers.  The Enforce the Law Act, sponsored by Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.), would allow the House or Senate to file a lawsuit against the president for failing to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed.” Under the law, the challenges would go to a three-judge federal district court panel, with appeals fast-tracked to the Supreme Court. Gowdy told The Washington Times that President Obama's "disregard for the law" had "reached an unprecedented level from a constitutional perspective." This bill "will give Congress the authority to defend this branch of government as the framers and our fellow citizens would expect," he said.
 
But the White House said the administration "strongly opposes" the legislation, which it said violates the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution.
