They violate the fourth amendment. further than that, the nsa and doj have been misleading the court. we knew some of the intelligence officials had lied to the public. now we know theyve been lying to the courts, which depending on how you word it and look at it, is perjury. what court are we talking about? the fisa spying court approves 99.7% of all requests for surveillance. this is a very friendly court for any kind of broad surveillance, whether thats phone, meta data, electronic. this part...
