Senators on Armed Services Committee Promote Expansion of NSA Domestic Data Gathering and Surveillance – NSA Response: “The Fourth Amendment is a “Key Obstacle” You Need to Remove

OK, before I blow a blood pressure cuff on this issue, please keep in mind the warnings provided on these pages about DHS now starting to assemble lists of dissident citizens under the guise of domestic extremists. {Go Deep} Also remind yourself the same DHS and FBI are now using private contractors embedded in Big Tech to scour public information on social media and provide feedback to help DHS assemble those lists. {Go Deep}

Now, we take that foundation and build it one step further…. This well-written report about the recent Senate Armed Services Committee discussion with the National Security Agency (NSA) needs to be absorbed with the prior information as context. These paragraphs are alarming in the extreme (emphasis mine):

[…] “Several members of the Senate Armed Services Committee on Thursday voiced their support for expanded authorities for the NSA and U.S. Cyber Command to conduct more intelligence gathering domestically, something that the Biden administration already is exploring, according to Gen. Paul Nakasone, who leads both agencies.”

“Former NSA general counsel Glenn Gertstell has argued that an expansion of NSA authorities to collect domestic intelligence is overdue. “It can’t possibly be the case that the Fourth Amendment ties our hands in such a way that we just have to sit there and watch the Chinese romp through our infrastructure,” he told the Wall Street Journal in March. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and [NSA Director] Nakasone cited it as a key obstacle to potential expansion of the NSA’s powers domestically.” (read more)

The Fourth Amendment is an “obstacle“?…. WTF kind of outlook is that.

Despite their efforts, their ongoing efforts, to destroy what remaining privacy safeguards are in place…. I do not want to live in a nation that loses the fundamental protection of the Fourth Amendment: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” (citation)

You can kiss your privacy good-bye.

I give the bureaucrats credit for recognizing a Constitutional barrier. The Deep State Politicians don’t seem to care.

The last line of defense for the Constitution may be a government union. Because what good bureaucrat wants to do work when they have a legitimate out?

Biden is just shredding the constitution every day, but orange man bad.

[joshua c]

The LEFT considers the entire US Constitution an obstacle.

[Grampa Dave]

Maybe you can tell us about 5 Eyes, its founding, existence and limitations re the US spying on us.

“It can’t possibly be the case that the Fourth Amendment ties our hands in such a way that we just have to sit there and watch the Chinese romp through our infrastructure,” he told the Wall Street Journal in March.

Yeah, right. Don't believe that crap for a second...

Liberal 'elite' thugs want to take out Americans... they don't give a damn what the Chinese do to the country. Or what the illegals... or criminals do to the country... The only people they hate are traditional Americans.

The Constitution has not been an obstacle since both parties shredded it on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009.

[G Larry]

The “obstacle” needing removal is Satan and his minions in America.

[Secret Agent Man]

The 4th amendment doesnt prohibit monitoring of known foreign spies/agents.

They are not american citizens for one thing, they do not have any constitutionally guaranted anything from us, other than what we precisely specify they have.

[Big Red Badger]

People have none already.
We The Sheeple,,,
Are under control.

>The last line of defense for the Constitution may be a government union.

Naw, nationwide utilization of the second amendment right to stop the government tyranny is what will be required. But we all know that will never happen right ..

[marktwain]

There isn't fourth Amendment protection against espionage and counter-intelligence.

You just cannot use what you find in a court of law.

[tet68]

The last line of defense for the Constitution IS an
armed populace.
