I'll agree that the system, like everything in our government, needs checks and balances, and right now it's pretty well wide open. Wide open in our government is not good, because though I would probably fall into the conservative slot, I will also admit that ALL politicians are crooks. Like used car salesmen, I wouldn't trust a one of them. A better alternative would be a system that could act quickly, but still consider if action is justified. I don't believe the government should be able to listen to anybody they like, but I want them to listen to those that intend to do us harm. So, where's the happy medium?
