I strongly support President Obama

209. Ok, you get that adding the 'sarcasm' tag means that you agree with me

and are making fun of people who think that AT&T is violating their 4th amendment right to privacy, right? Cause if you actually think that AT&T is violating your 4th amendment right to privacy, then your comments were not sarcastic; they are literal.

So, if you agree with me...YEAH!!

If not:

1) There is no right to privacy stipulated in the Constitution. It is a right implied, but not specifically outlined. The 4th amendment protects from unlawful search and seizure. According to the government, this program is legal because of some of the shadier elements in the Patriot Act. If you don't like that the government can do this, instead of invoking the 4th amendment, maybe you should lobby to revoke the Patriot Act. Actually, we should ALL probably lobby to revoke the Patriot Act.

2) Whose information is this? Does it belong to the phone company or me? Is the fact that my number called another number and talked for 1 minute and 15 seconds something that requires an individual warrant when the grocery store can sell the fact of which brand of toilet paper I buy to another company for profit?

3) Perhaps, like when you sign up for a discount card with the grocery store, AT&T should put a disclaimer that states that general information about your account will be made available to the government upon request in your phone contract. And that would be the end of that.
