Dear mother of Gawd, I am tired of arguing with rocks

[Ms. Toad]

249. Thank you.

It isn't clear (because of the secrecy) entirely what is being collected and stored.

The order permits the gathering and storing of meta data (not actual content). The order doesn't restrict what is done with that meta data - and there are tons of dots which can be connected just from the meta data. Even without more, I find the policy offensive and can make a good argument that it is unconstitutional

And, frankly, I find it hard to imagine that the NSA is limiting itself to just meta data. Once the collection and analysis process starts, people who are inclined to believe such collection and analysis is a good thing keep wanting more and more.

I'm glad that there is an opportunity to get some portion of this on the record and start unraveling it via the ACLU litigation.
