I think it's become confusing to politicians on both sides of the aisle what stance to take. (In order to bouy their own popularity.) Some may genuinely want to protect the constitution, but are afraid they'll be painted as "soft on terrorism", but, then they'll be painted as supporting "Big Brother"......."Uh, oh, I dunno which way to go!"

My guess is the lawsuits will fly for a while, the hearings will continue, there will be much hullabaloo spouted about, then some legislation or "pledge" will appear..........But, behind the scenes, nothing really changes.
