What is the violation. I don't do anything wrong I don't have to worry. I would also like to see a thumb print on all ballots and proof of citizenship to register to vote.

In the judge's opinion it violates the 4th Amendment. Wiretaps formerly required some degree of Habeas Corpus that a crime was being committed and were granted within the scope of specific investigations and existing evidence.

The surveillance program is apparently a warrant-less, proactive investigative 'fishing' of US communications upon which criminal investigations would be initiated. To put it another way, would you have wanted Bill or Hillary Clinton to have had access to that degree of surveillance? Because once it's enacted by Republicans it will be used by liberals for their own purposes. Case in point: the FBI files of congress members.
