Shocking News: Executive Branch Won't Check Itself

Big surprise out of Washington. The Department of Justice is ending its inquiry into the secret NSA wiretapping program.

When the DOJ approached the NSA about getting access to information on the program, the NSA flat out denied the request.

Who would've thought a branch of the government couldn't be trusted to adequately check itself?

Oh, right, it was the founders of the nation.

If only another branch was actually willing to take up the task.
