The Next Step...

We should ponder very carefully our unquestioned support for the intelligence agencies in this country. It has been reported that the NSA spied upon our Supreme Court Justices and also the present President of the United States. Who guards the guardians?

What if the US Supreme Court became very divisive and unpopular and the President was caught saying some very "un-American" things over a bug planted by the FBI?

How far are we removed from present day Egypt? It couldn't happen here?

The head of the FBI, NSA, CIA, and the DNI call a press conference to say that our government has become so divided, so untrustworthy, and so unstable that they are going to take over the reins until a new election is held?

That is the next step if we, the people, do not grab hold of the reins of the secret compartments of our government. It couldn't happen here. Maybe it is already happening?
