I'm done with this. It is clear that you are more concerned with the probable cause provision (which applies to the warrant and not to the reasonableness clause) than with the reasonableness provision.

The American public has it right, with nearly 2/3 seeing no problem with collecting a bunch of phone numbers so that some subset of them might yield a pattern involving terrorist activity.

And the Supreme Court does not support your understanding. So on with your tilting at windmills.

Neither supports this, sink - but probable cause is the standard for a subpeona or a warrant. I agree warrants are not always needed - but those are typically in hot pursuit or emergency situations, which this is not.

The Supreme Court also does not support my views on states deciding abortion. Guess I shouldn't want Roe v. Wade overturned then, either.
