Heaven forbid the government have the ability to wiretap suspected terrorists or look at their email.
They always could wiretap suspected terrorists, they just needed to follow well established processes to make sure they weren’t abusing their power.
Now they can do it without review, without information and it is illegal for anybody detained under the patriot act to even talk about it. It isn’t about security, it’s about hubris and administrative arm of the government not wanting to have to justify their actions to another part of the government.
It is the dismantling of the checks and balances the founding fathers installed in our government to prevent the government from abusing it’s citizens.
The government can put you away with no charges. That’s not right.
