How is the Patriot Act unconstitutional. And how is it wrong either legally or morally to wiretap conversations foreign enemies we are at war with are having with associates located within the United States?
Who gets to define who is and who isn't a foreign operative? How do they do it? And how accurate would their ability to decide this, be? As long as these three points continue to remain hazy, the average American citizen lost quite a bit of freedom to that act.

First off, if you want to know about the unconstitutionality of The Patriot Act, I suggest you do research. You shouldn’t take my word for it.
Secondly, I used to work for the Navy Security Group (think NSA wearing a Naval uniform) when it was illegal to listen into private conversations of U.S. citizens. It was legal to intercept the radio communications of foreigners, but not U.S. citizens. Now it is legal.
My opinion was, if you’re not doing something illegal or treasonous, why worry? Now, under BHO2, a person can be arrested just for expressing an oppositional opinion in his audience! BHO2 abuses power and targets his political opponents. This is called tyranny.
