So which Amendment is it that permits subordination of the Constitution to "safety from terrorism?"

62. You conveniently avoided addressing an important part:

[font size=3]...no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.[/font]

What about THAT part?
Did the NSA specifically name the persons or things to be seized in the secret warrant request
from the secret FISA Court that authorized the secret seizing of the personal data from MILLIONS of Verizon customers?

You don't try to hide the fact that you are a conservative,
but do you really believe this is a reasonable search
that complies with the specific prohibitions stated in the 4th Amendment?

Good Rule of Thumb:
People who have to claim that they are "Member(s) of the Reality Based Community",
aren't.

People who ARE Reality Based don't have to advertise that fact,
and the thought to do so would never occur to them.
