Of course they don't. Why should they? The Republicans are lying to them, and the media isn't bothering to correct the lie.

The poll didn't mention WARRANTLESS wiretapping. When people are asked specifically whether they approve of WARRANTLESS wiretapping--the issue in the court case--a majority does NOT approve. The scam the Republicans are trying to perpetrate is utterly shameless. And the "liberal" Washington Post went dutifully right along with it. So, unfortunately, did MDixon.
