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

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.

Hey, it's not just the Democrats. The Republicans are in on it too.

(I've seen one where "war on drugs" is replaced w/ "war on terror".)
