This is a powerful reason to defund the NSA, prosecute the people who are letting it shit all over our liberties, and then impeach the President who is persecuting the one person who stood up to this tyranny.

No part of the federal government is going to willingly forego what it has done it the past. The federal government is a power magnet. It craves power. It will expand until it collapses, and it will conduct surveillance as it sees fit. No law, no Court, nothing will slow it down. It is unable to control itself.

You are essentially suggesting that the feds prosecute themselves for activities that it (the federal government) believes are legal and constitutional. Congress is going to wet itself trying to show the people how much it cares about privacy (but it only cares about its elite self), and there will as much "show" as Congress thinks is necessary to fool the public.
