9. It's handier for the ODS sufferers to blame it on Obama.

they can't be bothered with pesky facts that show their rage should be directed elsewhere.

"More importantly, the government institution that poses the biggest threat to the 4th Amendment, privacy, and liberty, isn’t the President or any executive agency per se. It is the Supreme Court, the only government institution with the power to determine the circumstances under which the 4th Amendment applies, carve out exceptions to the rule, and decide the constitutionality of the Patriot Act. Moreover, the Court has continuously scaled back the rights codified by the 4th Amendment over the past several decades. These exceptions, operating in tandem with the Patriot Act, allow the executive branch to legally take actions which would seem to contravene the rights the 4th Amendment exists to protect."
