But who gets to decide when to skirt the Constitution? You? ME? the congress? the administration? the courts? Who?
Perhaps we might leave it up to the director of NSA?
No, let's just abide by it or alter it with a Constitutional amendment, not a con con, but an independent amendment.
If we have to take it or leave it then I say leave it. If we cannot have a Department of Justice that is willing to ensure that the FISA Court that reviews these LE and Agency requests will review them with due diligence according to the law and not rubber stamp 95% of the thousand and thousands of blanket requests each year, then DUMP the law.
Further, if we cannot trust a President and Administration to do their due diligence in exercising management oversight over agencies under their direct control - then dump it. Dump it. Dump it. Dump it.
They’ll just have to gumshoe it like they used to have to do instead of hoovering up every electronic bit known to man that they cannot even sift through until after something has happened and then go back and lie and say “we were onto them suckers, but blah, blah blah....”
