Hi Dino,
The spying on everyone in this country is evil and power driven. Those you named are great examples, but the attack on our liberties has come from both sides of the aisle. What a way to waste more of our tax dollars. I hope the day comes when we vette our polititions on their promise to uphold the constitution. Will the people wake up to the see the true colors
of these #<%*£€¥<##{~}'s., and demand an end to this abusive behavior and acting as an enemy to US.

Could.

There were some low information freed colonists who wanted to make George Washington a king.
These days we have low information and/or power hungry lawmakers, who still want to rise above the Constitution as some sort of above the law elite aristocracy.
Oops, all of the sudden I'm thinking of the Evil Hag~now it's Botox Nancy and Dingy Harry.

I heard a guy had stolen a new Audi and the cops had the car company Lock the doors on the thief and directed the cops where to go to get him. That is an example where all this intrusion worked, but.....

"All of this also leads to the monstrous power of the NSA to manipulate, torment and control the president by selectively concealing and selectively revealing data to him. The Constitution does not entrust such power to anyone in government. But Congress has given it.

All of this also substantially impairs a fundamental personal liberty, the right to be left alone -- a right for which we seceded from Great Britain, a right guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment and a right for which we fought wars against tyrants who we feared would take it from us." Judge Napolitano

This says the president could order the NSA to give him access to anyone's phone calls without a warrant. Could President Trump then order the NSA to give him proof of earlier spying on him? Could he order the NSA to turn over their information on himself so he can make a political point that the gov't isn't even pretending to the follow the Fourth Amendment?
