Unconstitutional?

What does that have to do with anything in the Age of Ubama?

There is very little Constitutional law left in America that the communists Democrats have not destroyed.

>> He also said the Justice Department had failed...

All three branches are likely entangled in the alleged violations.

How many of our “representatives” are addressing the privacy concerns expressed by the citizens? There must be a few, but I can’t name one.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the corrective action was a judicial order to destroy the database and all the phone records it contains?

There is a long history government wiretapping. In the Olmstead case (1928), SCOTUS said there is no expectation of privacy in a phone call. No warrant required. That changed in 1967, in the Katz case, whereby investigators need a warrant (with some exceptions).

So, the government gets around that by saying the NSA is not an investigating body. It merely gathers information. The investigators still need a warrant, but once they have the warrant, they can access the NSA database.
