Original title of this submission "Dropbox's Condoleezza Rice advocating for warrantless NSA surveillance" is more than a little dishonest.

The article is talking about statements she made on TV in 2005. That is bad enough, I don't understand why you feel the need to make it seem like she is going to the White House today in a Dropbox t-shirt advocating for NSA surveillance.

It's not so much the statements as the fact that she specifically helped get bills passed that enabled warrantless wiretapping. There was no concern for Constitutional law.

Personally, I don't think people change much. I doubt she thinks she did the wrong thing, and would not hesitate to do it again if she went back in time.

And in case she happens to be a sociopath, as so many politicians are, she wouldn't even fully grok what "wrong" means in the first place.

Our constitutional lawyer president also doesn’t have a concern for the Constitution.

Disclaimer: voted for him 2008

Which bills are you talking about?

It's one thing to agree or disagree with her position at Dropbox but are you trying to argue against what she said on camera? "I heard she might..." is not the case here since she was a public face for quite a while and she defended removing Americans' liberties in favor of something closer to a police state.
