I Am Shocked, Shocked that U.S. Gov Abused Blank Check Powers

Swedish government wanted a new law to for our version of NSA to be able to intercept calls.

However, the people kind of were against it, and they couldn't pass the law (huge demontrations and stuff).

The swedes behind the law had the same arguments as Bush, that this in no way would have anything to do with normal calls...

I dontt hink the swedish government can handle it better than the US, so I am glad they didnt get to pass it.

Think the US will react to this?

Unfortunately the US government doesn't listen to its people. You can do that when 10 guys provide 99% of your funding

I think a better system is that the state allocates funds for political parties, and that they are thereafter forbidden to use more than this amount.

It should be about the issues, not funding, imho.
