The ACLU and the NRA Team Up, And Obama Loses A Union

Snowden will likely go down in history as an American hero. His courage is the equivalent of that of the single man stopping an entire column of tanks in Tiananmen Square during the Chinese revolt. Only Snowden has produced real results, if congress actually acts to regain its Constitutional powers.

Snowden releases new abuses by the NSA almost daily. Now the ACLU and the NRA have teamed up to fight the civil rights issues regarding the NSA's monitoring of the American populace. It probably won't make a difference with the crew in power right now.

Even unions are finally coming to their senses, with the ICE challenging the rogue president:
"...the head of the union representing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents [Chris Crane] called on Congress to investigate the administration’s immigration policies.
“And it doesn’t matter what type of legislation we pass, until we address that problem, we will never have an immigration system that works,” he added. “As long as one person can act like a dictator and ignore the law and make his own laws through policy, we will never have a system that works.

"There is no more of a clear cut case in our country of the president overstepping his authority, ignoring the law, ignoring the Constitution, than the president’s ordering of ICE agents not to enforce U.S. immigration law,” he said. “Yet we have no investigations from Congress into this whatsoever.”
And,
"Crane continued, saying that while his union applauds congressional investigations into the IRS and Benghazi, lawmakers have failed to investigate what has been going on at his agency and “that’s got to stop.”
“You tell me, how do I call on Congress to conduct investigations because, you know, being involved in this process as I have been, it seems to me the only people that really get to be at the table to have a say about our laws are the people that have pockets full of money,” Crane said. “You know, you have to be a Mark Zuckerberg or you have to be a Chamber of Commerce to be a participant, a real participant in the creation of our nation’s laws.”
