My Deplorable in-laws this morning: not the reaction I expected!

106. Thanks.

Albeit the Fourth Amendment requires probable cause for searches and seizures and the Sixth Amendment requires that a person accused in a court has the right to confront his accusers. This surveillance is used to circumvent those limitations on the government, but it's the activists on the right who insist on the one hand that we have to have the surveillance and on the other talk about the "deep state" etc. that the surveillance and secrecy laws create.

They are talking out of both sides of their mouths. It's just about taking power for themselves. They don't think rationally or critically about what Section 702 really does or how and when it contradicts our Constitution and violates our rights.

That kind of rational thought is just above them.
