| | Washington Politics at its Best What a crock of bovine excrement, attach this to another bill knowing full well it won't pass. The Washington Mafia tramples on the cOnstitution yet again because they are gutless, spineless cretins who would sell their mother for a vote.
Is their any doubt that your elected representatives either are too gutless to do anything to stop this relentless disembowelment of our Constitutional Rights or flat out criminals. They took an oath to protect the Constitution and yet here they are rubber stamping warrant-less search/seizure of private data. Wonder how they would like it if we were given access to THEIR private data? Miserable SOBs should be recalled, disbarred for violation of their legal responsibilities and maybe even jailed for illegal activities-BUT the kangaroo court known as the Supreme Court would make sure no one holding a GOVERNMENT POSITION WOULD ever BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. | |

kudos:1 | Re: America's Three Biggest Terrorist Groups Don't forget to add ICE to that list. Their jurisdiction into copyright protection under the pretenses of enforcing trademark violations seems way out of bounds.
Be careful though, you might be silenced and imprisoned for stealing the idea of rebellion from the US patriots of the 18th century American Revolution. | |

| Two party system As long as Americans believe that only two parties exist in this country this only going to get worse with our rights taken away one by one and government being allowed to get deeper in our wallets too. The two parties had their chance for a very long time and created very deep rooted problems in our government and our society. I guess this is the new American dream now. Congratulations Americans way to go!!.

just like the government or companies take peoples information/emails/pictures and use them(tabloids are a good example) but when someone does the same thing, they are thrown in jail for 30 years. | |

Santa Monica, CA | Not News Anyone who ever assumed their email or call data records were off limits from the government is extremely naive.
I'm as distressed as the next guy over the encroachment of Big Sister, but no law is going to prevent the g-men or any others from doing as they please, nor will daily public lashings of the various carriers for cooperating with the entity that licenses them.
Even those who think they're taking all the necessary steps to be "anonymous" in their everyday travels and communiques, fail to realize that they leave a unique hash pattern of digital detritus that may not name them, but establishes an identity entity than can be tracked. In time, or maybe already, those trying to remain invisible may actually be the most conspicuous. | |

| | | | Or have there been too just too many lies told to make people believe that they are safe under the wing of the Federal spooks. I would tend to think the worst from the Feds given their deplorable record of adhering to the Constitution rather than the best. That bastion of decency J Edgar Hoover is a prime example of what can and does happen when you "piss of the wrong guys". The Federal edict saying it's legal to assassinate American citizens abroad rather than giving them a trial by their peers is another fine example of your government hard at work to protect the public. In reality, many don't give a damn what the laws say or the oaths they took or any other meaningful expectation of responsibility. They have a "paid" agenda to achieve and will do anything to make it happen and will hide behind "National Security" even if they are exposed. | |

| | It is sad about what happened to the 4th amendment. Citizens have a right to privacy by default. It is only when the citizen allows it or when a court authorizes it through a warrant to be able to break a persons privacy.
It doesn't matter where the information is store and who owns the storage the device. The person has a expectation from the constitution that the information will not be unlawfully used.
If they have to get a warrant to search a persons safety deposit box in a bank then they have to get one to search a persons cloud account. It is really that simple.
If they have to get a warrant to tap or listen in to telecommunication lines then they have get one if they want to read emails as well. | |

| You have not been free for a long time Wake up people, the same technology that allows society to steal with damn near no effort, is a sword that cuts both ways.
You can take and take and take with ease, and so can't they.
Digital means it is all just data that any machine can look at and take.
I can steal movies, and music, and books and programming and basically do anything the feds can do if I have the skills.
And you are surprised that they can ignore all of our objections and just do what they want to us?
Get real. If you type something nasty into a computer and expose it to the internet, you have just let the whole planet have access to it. Sure they should need permission to get it, but hey, permission to take something is currently not stopping us from taking anything WE want.
I don't mind them looking at my 'stuff' just as long as they don't think they are better than me when I look at their stuff. | |
