Obama ' s DOJ might not have written anything similar to John Yoo , but they sure as hell didn ' t stop the drone strikes , indefinite detention , or mass surveillance . He had 8 years to end the Bush era , but he didn ' t . All of those tools were kept in place and used extensively , establishing dangerous legal precedents that will be abused . As far as the FISA courts go , remember that approve almost 100 % of requests , they are useless . They have been useless despite Obama ' s two supreme court appointments , they would have been useless under Clinton ' s more of the same campaign . <| sep |> That ' s what I ' m here for lol <| sep |> I ' m 100 % positive it was in there . Looks like it was posted 3 days ago but edited 1 day ago so I would wager they removed it for some reason .
