I knew this would happen when the Patriot Act was first proposed. I remember arguing with my mother, who insisted it would never be abused.

  And every con-gress person who voted for it knew it would be abused.
  They KNEW, and they ignored their oath to the constitution, and they became traitors in that moment.

What I find to be almost beyond belief is the volume of information they are storing and reviewing. Every communication we make? It seems impossible.
It's a terrible feeling to know that everything I communicate is subject to scrutiny by a hostile power.
