How would we know?
What if...the judge were to run for office?
If the government feels it needs to bypass the Constitution as the only way to protect Americans, then we need to amend the Constitution. I doubt they’re spying on us for our protection, however, which is why the legal course of action probably wouldn’t work.
Not rhetorical questions; he is all over it!
These secret courts failed us, the administration not only failed us but lied to us and the NSA lied and lied and lied.
Who ever was involved with the lies should be accountable and spend a mimimum of 20 years in jail.
What if we treated every single government employee that willfully violates the Constitution like the traitor that they are and hang them?
What if one of the secrets collected by the president’s spies concerned the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court?
What if the Chief Justice issued a pivotal opinion upholding a totalitarian power grab that was the biggest initiative of the president’s term in office, in a nonsensical opinion that was contrary to the Chief Justice’s jurisprudential philosophy?

This objection seems to be based upon the privacy fraud. NSA is looking but not seizing. The true basis of Search and Seizure is the protection of property not some left wing legal construct designed, among other things, to prevent checking into a given persons antecedents. The aforementioned being said I admit I don’t like the spying any better than the next guy, but I still ask what have I really given up by NSA spying and learning the contents of a recipe I sent my sister.?

Thanks again, Kas,

Very well said
There is supposed to be an oversight committee to monitor and stop acts of these agencies from infringing on the rights of American citizens. But, as is typical, such power corrupts.
“..,.The Constitution is clear...”

Apparently not.
Perhaps thirty years ago, oversight of these agencies began to wane.
Now, the heads of agencies publicly flip off congress.
No doubt NSA data is already being used for extortion.
Anything the government has that can be abused will be.
As apathy on the subject grown the abuse will become more and more bold.
It’s not a stretch by any means to anticipate the NSA database may at sometime in the future be used to establish and maintain a rigid caste system.
Maybe you won’t get accepted to that college...or get that permit...or that profession license...or that medical procedure. Hey...or maybe it will be taken out on your children.
Maybe Obama will leave the White House with a suitcase full of hard drive. It was said that the Clintons left office with 1,500 FBI files -that’s child’s play. What if Obama leaves office with that suitcase full of hard drive totaling something like 200 terabytes. Just the nitty gritty on say the 300,000 most prominent conservatives in the US. What will that be worth to Obama-&-Obama Consulting? What would the NSA files be worth for most every opposition campaign contributor AND potential candidate.
If they can abuse it they will. This is the point of no return.
