Snowden plus— He exposed un-Constitutional NSA spying and electronic data collection on all American

Snowden minus -— He was forced to give all his information to Vladimir Putin. Nobody rides for free in Vlad’s Russia

---

Snowden minus minus -— He stupidly handed over to the Chinese and Russians names and IP addresses of servers that our analysts had worked extremely hard to surreptitiously hack into, thus letting them know that we were in there listening.

Snowden doublepluss good -- His revelations showed the extent to which the government despises the Constitution's strictures and how both Republican and Democrat parties are A-OK with the violations: indeed, we saw the government go from saying they weren't spying, to admitting they spied on "metadata", to admitting to spying on the actual contents within a surprisingly short time. — In addition to this, we found out that the "law enforcement" agencies are all too willing and able to play lawyer and use "parallel construction" to build a case based off the information gleaned from these domestic operations.

This is only the surface, but it illustrates how all-pervasive the corruption is; scratch the judiciary and you'll find a whole house of cards built on ignoring the Constitution.
