Even if the NSA were a part of the Army - which it is not - collecting data is not "executing the laws."

Nor apparently the 4th Amendment, in your mind anyway.

Or were you going for since unwarranted mass searches and seizures are illegal, doing them isn't technically enforcing the law?

BTW, why didn't you quote

10 U.S.C. § 375. Restriction on direct participation by military personnel
The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe such regulations as may be necessary to ensure that any activity (including the provision of any equipment or facility or the assignment or detail of any personnel) under this chapter does not include or permit direct participation by a member of the Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marine Corps in a search, seizure, arrest, or other similar activity unless participation in such activity by such member is otherwise authorized by law.

Was that because you said "Its current director is an Army general, but his predecessor was Air Force."?

These questions exist externally from my mind, in court decisions.

No, it was because the question at issue is whether this voluntary sharing is actually a "search and seizure."

Nice rebuttal.

The ensuing response was...predictably weak.
