What part of "bulk collection" do they not understand? So they think the CIA/DIA/NSA have an exclusion list of phones/computers/e-mail, etc. that they don't spy on?

Goddamn, did it ever occur to them that once you trash the 4th Amendment for an individual it gets trashed for everyone.

And these people are our Nation's lawmakers and leaders?
