2014 NE Senate debate: on War & Peace


Ben Sasse: Americans should be realistic about the dangers we face

Asked about drones, domestic surveillance and the rights of privacy, Domina said the Fourth Amendment protects Americans against unreasonable search and seizure, and "drones are no exception." He said he opposes the use of drones to kill Americans in foreign countries.

Sasse said Americans need "stone-colored realism about the dangers we face" and its government must have the technology to keep up with bad guys, but agreed with Domina on the need to guard against unreasonable search and seizure.

Shane Osborn: We let Syria & Iran cross the red line

Osborn say the US and Europe need to cooperate on economic sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin. "You need to have diplomacy, but at the same time he needs to take you serious and right now, Putin doesn't take us serious," Osborn says. "Because the Syrians don't take us serious when we let them cross the red line. The Iranians don't take us serious with this horrible agreement that we did that doesn't do anything to curtail their uranium enrichment over there and their quest to get a bomb. So, why would Putin take us serious now?"
