Making the popcorn. Between watching the dems squirm over this memo and watching Hollywood burn itself to the ground, it's been a pretty good year so far.

Surveillance memo vote triggers war of words on Capitol Hill
The House Intelligence Committee’s Monday vote to release a classified memo on purported government surveillance abuses has touched off a war of words between Democrats and Republicans, with both sides unloading their rhetorical guns as time ticks down to the memo’s likely publication.

Cpl Mark McMiller - Yes Schiff is a Chronic sufferer of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). He exhibits all the symptomology of the diseases Tertiary stage. To review: In the Primary stage of TDS victims lose all sense of proportion. As every POTUS tweet, comment, appearance in public or even a trip to the men’s room provokes a firestorm of indignant outrage. As TDS progresses to its Secondary stage it has profound effect on the victim’s vocabulary. Specifically, Chronic TDS sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting solely of hyperbole and vitriol to describe every POTUS action, utterance or bodily function and the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality. As TDS progresses to its tertiary and final stage; the afflicted lose all touch with reality. Their ability to engage in rational thought processes is compromised and their lives resemble a dark fairy tale in which they remain in a catatonic state, staring at pictures of Hillary while muttering incomprehensible sentences stipulating that the world is doomed.

I'm on the fence for this one. I pray it does not identify sources and methods, just to make a political statement.

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin - Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. FISA is unconstitutional. But in the interest of national security, we the people authorized our government the power to do it anyway. Our government has proven it can not be trusted with that power. Those who are responsible need to spend time in prison and FISA needs to be shut down.

FISA is not unconstitutional. Using it improperly or illegally (i.e. for personal or political gain) is unconstitutional.
By the way, this is the real interpretation of Ben Franklin's quote:

"Franklin was not describing some tension between government power and individual liberty. He was describing, rather, effective self-government in the service of security as the very liberty it would be contemptible to trade. Notwithstanding the way the quotation has come down to us, Franklin saw the liberty and security interests of Pennsylvanians as aligned."
