Ditto.
The problem with many “conservatives” arguing that the vast data-mining of call records is legal is that they don’t know jack about what is now in those records as a consequence of most people now owning wireless phones.
For most of the “conservatives” arguing in favor of the ability of the government to do this, I notice that they have a liberal arts background. In other words, they don’t know shit about technology, much less computer networks or wireless networks.
It’s quickly getting to a point when I’m discussing this issue with some conservatives that I want to say: “Look, I hate to sound uncharitable, but the truth is, you’re simply too stupid to have ANY opinion on this issue. I might as well as your pet Golden Retriever as ask you for an opinion - because you both are just about as well informed.”
Excellent point . I’m a golden retrieve in this area but have been online since the days of Commodore 64’s in the 80’s and understand enough to know this is waaaay out of hand.
Plus I read Vince Flynn and Tom Clancy;)
