My "legal" take is that the Prez. has some very creative lawyers who have taken something that was intended to be a small doorway for rational use and driven a bulldozer or two through it to broaden it beyond any original intent. I believe it will take some equally creative lawyering to oppose it - the public security argument carries lots of weight.

I am with you. Freedom requires risk. Unfortunately, we are becoming such a risk averse society that individual liberty falls by the wayside.

This Administration has been really quick to 'inadvertently' let slip their awesomeness, not so good on taking responsibility for the FUBARS.
