And, speaking of New Mexico, David Hodges on The Common Sense Show says the New Mexico Muslims arrested in the Taos vicinity were members of a terrorist compound where school shooters are being trained.  Hodges cites a longtime FBI source who says there are 40 to 50 such compounds around the country and they are under the wing of the CIA.  These camps and school shootings serve one purpose: Promoting gun violence in an attempt to weaken our 2nd Amendment rights.

Obama’s Broad Spy Powers

After a perfunctory, last-minute debate, the Senate has reauthorized a law allowing for sweeping federal spying powers, including warrantless surveillance on domestic communications. Amendments that would have offered a small degree of oversight were pushed aside.

Cato Institute research fellow Julian Sanchez examines the alternatives.
