Wait, so Lindsey Graham doesn’t like spying now?

Known NSA-defender Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is now calling for “heads to roll” over the recent accusation that the CIA was spying on Senate computers.

“Heads should roll, people should go to jail if it’s true,” Graham said. “If it is, the legislative branch should declare war on the CIA.”

His statement is nothing short of hypocrisy considering his ardent defense of the National Security Agency’s surveillance program that spies on Americans citizens, without having a search warrant.

It’s odd that Graham would mention this “going to court,” as the leaked DOJ white paper that everybody’s talking about explicitly says, “[T]here exists no appropriate judicial forum to evaluate these constitutional questions.”
