I don’t think you know what “Conservative” means.
Conservative: Constitutionally bound Federal government limited to enumerated powers. Powerful individuals, Sovereign States, decentralized power.
That’s conservative. That includes a Bill of Rights and the 4th Amendment. In case you have not heard, the Fed ignores that nasty 4th Amendment. Ignores and finds plausible work arounds.
Snowden did to the NSA exactly what McCarthy did to the commies in film town. In both cases there were meager denials. In both cases the furor was not about the truth but the exposure of the truth. Conserving our 4th amendment rights is paramount to preserving all the others, in this day of electronic surveillance.That would be be by any means. When someone from the government speaks, the opposite of what is said is often true. This is true from the president down to the dog catcher.
