4. lawful govt request?

shouldn't that be awful govt request?

Seriously, it is not a LAWFUL request since it violates the constitution and numerous privacy rights!!

Has anyone noticed the way, whenever anyone talks about this, almost the first thing they say is to try to assure people that this is a legal program? That's because they KNOW it's not legal!!! If it were legal, NSA would have gone to the FISA court when Qwest questioned them!

There is a reason why there is no kind of judicial review of this program and the reason is because there is (probably) not a judge or attorney in the country who would agree that it IS legal!!
