http://pjmedia.com/andrewmccarthy/2013/07/30/the-why-question-why-the-national-security-right-is-gradually-losing-the-nsa-debate/ An amendment proposed by libertarian Congressman Justin Amash (R., MI) that would effectively have killed the NSA surveillance programs was just barely defeated last week. In the battle’s wake, a consensus seems to be growing that conservatives must have an intramural debate over national security. This is healthy, or at least it could be […]
