Please check in if you oppose the massive surveillance being conducted on American citizens

59. I oppose the blind support of anyone. Our leaders are not gods, not even approaching being deities.

Some here need to stop with the hero worship. How is that any different from being just another unthinking sheeple?

That said, I am on the record as being opposed to the mass data collecting on private communications, without any suspicion of any wrong doing. If you are under investigation and with a proper warrant, then they can collect your communications data - within reason, spelled out in the proper warrant(s). But other than that, the 4th Amendment has not been repealed - yet that I know of.
Secret courts, populated by unknown people, doing things in secret cannot repeal any part of the Constitution either. But, in effect, this is what they have done, repealed the 4th Amendment. No matter how convoluted their arguments for supposed legality.

This spying on American citizens, it needs to be stopped now! If not, what happens if and when the loony bin Republicans gain control of both houses of congress and/or the presidency? The way they cheat, lie and steal, you have to know that is a very real possibility, if not the 2016 election, then the one after. It will happen at some point. Then what? We can kiss the rest of our Constitutional freedoms good-by.
