We have it all backwards. We are supposed to know everything our Government is doing and our Government is not supposed to know anything we are doing, absent probable cause to believe we have committed a crime (yes, that is part of the constitution). Instead, our government operates in complete secrecy while we are subject to government snoops reading and listening to everything we write and say. I fail to recognize this country any longer and the fact a supposed constitutional law scholar and community agitator is at its helm makes the loss of privacy all the more outrageous.

Well, I guess the next thing you know,
they’ll want to open everyone’s postal mail.

It is safe to assume that there is a near-zero measure of privacy in most forms of communication.

I remember when the press and the youth were opposed to the government, and the ACLU would have had a heart failure about intercepting and recording every phone call, email, and facebook post in America.
We are living in a police surveillance state that the NKVD and Stasi never dreamed of actually achieving.

Apparently, there’s a lack of understanding about the need for a productive economy.
