Floral Park, NY | Bill of rights = GUIDELINE and not LAW??? They have taken it to a new level, bringing it right into the open and making it legal to violate civil rights. It's not going to stop either, this will be a dangerous precedent.
Imagine 10 years from now when people are arrested and due process circumvented in the name of SAFETY! That is the reasoning isn't it? Snowball effect, I'm telling you. |

Santa Cruz, CA | Saved lives is a powerful incentive to keep them listening.
Since ma bell had the govt grandfathered in since the first copper was laid, they cant hardly prosecute them for obeying govt orders can they?
Bush program is just a continuation/upgrade that they needed to be able to watch the ever growing number of communications, that they cant keep up with.
Even if Qwest didnt cave to them, thier data still went through the main U.S trunks.

Who of many good things have had your fill even to surfeit,
With what is moderate nourish your mighty desire; for neither will
We yield, nor shall you have all else as you wish.’
