The National Security Agency appears to be collecting the telephone records of tens of millions of American customers of Verizon, one of the nation’s largest phone companies, under a top-secret court order issued in April.

Nope...to them, this is S.O.P. and A-OK
Where’s ACLU, Electronic Frontiers Foundation, etc.?
Secret court??
This brings a whole new meaning to “Can you hear me now?”
ACLU lawyers are preparing their case now. /s
What the eff country is this again? Not sure where I am.
Ping!
What percentage of those calls collected are right leaning callers? 99.99999999% or 99.999999%?
I pity any person who has to listen in on my phone calls—he will be bored out of his skull.............
We’re so screwed.

They may or may not listen to your calls. But guaranteed they will use this to take away more freedoms, harass conservatives, monitor “tea party” conversations, etc.

Vell, ve vill find out vere you are, und ven ve do you had better haff your papers in order!!!/s;)
I’m thinking they are building blocks for declaring marshal law. Brick by brick.
The critical question is “Why would they do that?”
” Bush was the enabler here. Not that Zero wouldn’t do this on his own.”
Bush had two wars. Obama says those are over. Why does he need this in peacetime?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
So it turns our everyone with Verizon service has been using an Obama Phone.
Or rather “why do the Feds want what is considered private information without probable cause or indications that a crime has been committed?” otherwise they are just fishing...
