If Hillary wants to have her Administration eavesdrop on the calls of Americans speaking with foreigners who are suspected to be terrorists or affiliated with them, that would not be a bad thing. She won't of course, because her enemies are domestic Republicans, not foreign terrorists.

The point is that the 4th Amendment is not absolute. It implicitly allows reasonable searches, as determined by objective standards. If an American citizen is speaking on an overseas call with a person he has reason to believe is terrorist-affiliated, he has no reasonable expectation of privacy.
