You really didn’t already know about the patriot act?
Has your neighbor, you or anyone you know been harassed by snooping?
This OWS far left punk has made it OK now in American’s minds to pass classified secrets to foreign govts...that is not ok and he should be prosecuted.
Your emotions lead to knee-jerk conclusions.
Something I expect from the totalitarian left.
AHEM:
Congressman Sensenbrenner:
“As the author of the Patriot Act, I am extremely troubled by the FBI’s interpretation of this legislation. While I believe the Patriot Act appropriately balanced national security concerns and civil rights, I have always worried about potential abuses. The Bureau’s broad application for phone records was made under the so-called business records provision of the Act. I do not believe the broadly drafted FISA order is consistent with the requirements of the Patriot Act. Seizing phone records of millions of innocent people is excessive and un-American.”
What right does the Government have to do the snooping with no probable cause in the first place? That's a clear 4th Amendment violation.
If you must know, each time I have to go to the airport, yes, I am harassed by snooping. There is no reason to treat each and every person as a common criminal.
Do you like being treated as a common criminal?
