Point out for me where it was said that we shouldn’t have the tools.
What HAS been stated, again and again, is the illegal mass warrantless spying on citizens must stop, and the program currently in use that has repeatedly been shown to be useless at stopping bad guys must be scrapped.
If a tool is useless for the task it is stated to be used for, you don’t keep using it, do you?
Shown where? By whom? Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence.
As I said, if agencies are abusing the constitution they should be held accountable. I don't consider building a database of phone billing data to be abuse, but if you can show that they actually used this data to surveil a citizen without a warrant then someone should go to jail.
