Whatever else you may think of the guy...Snowden’s revelations about the NSA program are bearing out to be true.
As regards this decision, anyone who has read the constitution knew this would have to be the case if the Constitution was going to be upheld.
The people are to be secure in their persons and their belongings (including data), unless there is probable cause, and a court ordered warrant regarding specifics of a search.
The NSA is capturing everyone’s data, by default, with no probable cause and no warrant and then storing it all in massive data banks in Virginia and Utah. That data is then categorized and mined by all sorts of agencies...again, all without any probable cause or specific warrant.
Of course it is unconstitutional and therefore illegal.
Someone has to bring to light the corruption and crap.
No checks and balances for some time, IMHO.
....unless it involves the 16th Amendment. NOTHING stands between the gov’t and ‘its’ $$. Not the 4th, 5th, 9th, 10th, 13th....
IOW, we should be SHOCKED, since the Constitution is barely hanging on by a thread.
