Acts of terror have been occurring since man has walked the planet. In our current time, I rather like Barr's use of the term "predicate", which means basis or grounds, as in "The predicate for the investigation". What did I and millions of others do to give the "intelligence" community grounds to put me under surveillance? Or spy on me, if you prefer? What possible reason could I and others have possibly given them to place me under such a draconian system?

In other words, where's the "predicate"?

What is an acronym for surveillance?
The language police, hate it when their own tactics are used against themselves....
Acronyms have been a mainstay for those willing to deceive, in lawyer talk..... Words and acronyms can raise or lower the hype.... They can create a crisis from a hangnail, or to cover up crime.

That thing is pure evil!
The Patriot Act & NDAA are both complete violations of the 4th Amendment.


Police kill innocent people at a rate 18x's higher than domestic Terrorists. Who is the real terrorist in America?

You left out the verb "are", as in "you are right". You could also have used a contraction as in "you're right".

It has become apparent Barr is another Trump 'yes man' and not a protector of the United States or its constitution.

Trump is trying to consolidate his power grab by crippling the judicial and legislative branches at every opportunity.

So you think Lynch or Holder were non-political? I mean, seriously?

Now you've got it. Synonym = same; antonym = anti/opposite.

I wonder if there's an antonym for acronym.
