No shit. Now you know why the Bush and Obama administrations fought so tirelessly over the years desperately trying to keep the question about the NSA with their fish net strategy of all communications everywhere on earth out of court when faced with the question, is this snooping constitutional?
More and more this Edward Snowden is proving to be not a villain but a patriot who has never changed his story while the snoops and spooks and government spies change theirs weekly. Funny the guys accusing Snowden of breaking the law do the same things themselves.
(CNN) -- The government's once-secret program of collecting domestic telephone communication records of Americans was ruled unconstitutional Monday by a federal court.
"I cannot imagine a more 'indiscriminate' and 'arbitrary invasion' than this systematic and high-tech collection and retention of personal data on virtually every citizen for purposes of querying and analyzing it without prior judicial approval," said the judge, an appointee of President George W. Bush. "Surely, such a program infringes on 'that degree of privacy' that the Founders enshrined in the Fourth Amendment."
Much more from CNN.
