I especially understood this sentence:
You are so screwed.
So I guess the next few steps might involve something akin to star chambers and gulags, maybe more Breitbarting? Or am I just crazy?
Nope. You’re right. In fact, PA II has elements of star chamber and FISA as well.
They can arrest you and not give cause but, being charged under PA II you are barred from discussing even your arrest with an attorney .
Further, NSA can search your private communications at will and does not have to inform you before hand.
