Protect the infrastructure from hacking. It's not the citizens that need to be monitored.

Many of these executive orders are unconstitutional.

Fans of the current administration are happy to overlook that fact, ignoring that by establishing this precedent future chief executives from the other party will surely use same. They'll cry then, of course, but it'll be too late.
