Your loss of constitutional rights thanks to NSA is a huge pork
barrel for private industry
Al
Gore on NSA spying: This in my view violates the constitution..
. . It is not acceptable to have a secret interpretation of a
law that goes far beyond any reasonable reading of either the
law or the constitution and then classify as top secret what
the actual law is.
William Binney, a former NSA
official who claims to have designed the prototype of the program
that allows the NSA to sweep up almost infinite amounts of information,
told the New Yorker’s Jane Mayer in 2011 that he regretted
his input. “I should apologize to the American people,”
he said. “It’s violated everyone’s rights. It
can be used to eavesdrop on the whole world.”
Nancy Gertner - As a former
Article III judge, I can tell you that your faith in the FISA
Court is dramatically misplaced. Two reasons: One … The
Fourth Amendment frameworks have been substantially diluted in
the ordinary police case. One can only imagine what the dilution
is in a national security setting. Two, the people who make it
on the FISA court, who are appointed to the FISA court, are not
judges like me. Enough said.
