Snowden exposed the trashing of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution. Do you support this?

Not just the 4th, the 5th and 6th, too:
5th -- Your communications are being monitored w/o legitimate due process of law and thus are testimony against yourself.
6th -- The FISA-court is a closed court where the accused is afforded no defense nor is allowed to be informed of the charges against him.

Just more for the Bush Republicans to respond to.

Is the violation of our Constitutional rights what they stand for?????

I can let them call Snowden a traitor and its clear he’s violated laws, but I will not allow them to defend the collection of all this data.

They must oppose it but they steadfastly refuse to do so.

Again, if you freely offer up information about yourself to a third person (your phone company) and they freely offer up that information to the government, there really isn't much of a "due process" issue.

Also, the FISA court is one which grants warrants - it is not a court in which people are accused or charged or indicted or convicted of crimes.

Warrants are always obtained secretly - it is kind of the point of a warrant.
