54 Words, 7 commas, and a period. The argument against warrantless spying in a nutshell [View All]

[ThomWV]

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.


Nowhere in the Amendment does it bow to the will of the President nor does it exempt from the requirement for a warrant based on letters issued by the FBI. In short, you have the right not to be spied upon unless a warrant is secured and the Government has no right at all to spy on you without one. It is not a difficult argument to comprehend.
