The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Creating an electronic record of your telephone calls, text messages, and emails is part of the normal course of business if you use such things. These records are not part of your person, house, papers or effects (i.e., other things you own). Generally speaking they are business records of the company with whom you have contracted to provide the service.
In proposing a special court to authorize searching those records, Donald Trump’s statement is fully within the Fourth Amendment protections. Preferably the records would be in the custody of the providers, but situations may require rapid access so provisions for that need to be made.
Granted, the last several administrations have be part of a Satanic Cabal to create a One World Government and a One World Religion, but stopping NSA data collection is not going to stop them.
Oh, but they are our effects. NSA data collection on all Americans without warrants violates the Constitution.
The Cruz approach is better — require warrants (as required under the Fifth Amendment), but broaden the tools that can be used for a legitimate, warranted data collection.
But what the NSA is doing is authorized neither by the constitution, no (according to its chief author) by teh Patriot Act itself.
