Congress reacted to snowden and theyre saying hmm, maybe it is not quite so scary as we thought to go against the government. I want to move on because of the time. But, mieke, i thought you might have the best view into how might this ruling influence the politics of this, the congressional will . I think that the court the Second Circuit clearly put this back in congress lap and said, look, congress did not explicitly authorize this Bulk Collection Program under 2150 and if they want to be explicit about that, they need to act they made note of the timeline. But their analysis of the 215 program suggests that they would not look kindly upon it the way that it is currently constructed. I also think that the politics of this right now here in the house, it is unlikely that you would get a clean reauthorization of the existing program through.

When president bush instituted it and president obama continued it, they didnt have an open discussion about whether the country should have such a program. And actually that seems to run through a little bit of yesterdays opinion by judge lynch. Even dick cheney. This is something that i discovered in writing this book that nobody had ever seen before.

The concept delineating between the number of people affected or how targets are picked, versus the program itself, i think is valuable, and it gets to a question that i would like a from everybody on. There is a trust problem that now exists, for whatever series of reasons. An example
Public of the need for validity of a broad program. The concept delineating between the number of people affected or how targets are picked, versus the program itself, i think is valuable, and it gets to a question that i would like a from everybody on. There is a trust problem that now exists, for whatever series of reasons. An example of a concern that i at least have was revealed through a usa today piece that came out last month that revealed that the dea had been conducting a Metadata Collection Program ten years before 9 11. One of the concerns and maybe this is pessimism or paranoia depending on who you ask, is that stopping a program like the telephone Metadata Collection Program that is ongoing under authority, how do we know it does not show up under another 30 . It is a sincere question that premuch everybody, because theres no reason to hold the community to such a paranoid standard, but how do we get to that point . I think this question is a real challenge because of the
