I am not concerned about them listening to my conversations with my mom. I am concerned about giving the government more powers than the Founder’s believed they should have.

There is a huge difference betwen you and I. You believe the government is good and has our best interest in mind. I believe the government is not always good and can be used against the people. These powers that the government have now, can easily be turned on anyone that they may label “terrorist” since the definition is very broad. Anyone can be labeled a terrorist whether it be pro-life protesters, Christians speaking out against homosexuality, gun dealers, or a myriad of other groups.

So in an almost paranoia state of fear over ME terrorists the government now has been granted powers far greater than they should have. This “timing” of the court order goes against the plain reading of the 4th Amendment.

You are a little late, Mr. Abe Lincoln is your chief problem, he started the ball rolling taking more government powers.

I'm sorry, that is so stupid a premise, it is not even worthy of a response. You have absolutely no idea what I think about the government.

Think classical liberalism and look it up the definition before you embarrass yourself thinking I'm a liberal

Good Lord, man.
