As you may have heard, last week President Obama nominated Jeh Johnson, the former General Counsel of the Defense Department, to be the new head of the Department of Homeland Security. While he‘s certainly better than some other proposed candidates, he‘s not exactly known as a supporter for civil liberties. He‘s been a point person defending the use of drone-strikes, even on US citizens. He also has defended the collection of metadata by the NSA. Oh, and in his remarks after President Obama announced the nomination, he talked all about 9/11 and how he‘s spent his time since then trying to act in response to that.
