and you think PRISM is constitutional?
same same.
If it is unconstitutional he should stay in the USA and fight the charges. He has no desire to do that and is trying to go to countries that do much worse things than our PRISM program. So he is a hypocrit as well. I hope they catch him and I hope he does hard time.
As for you guys I don't know why you were so against the Obama programs. You voted for him. I told you he was too conservative and I did not vote for him. You should be the ones supporting the programs.
thanks to the patriot act and executive orders, the constitution is now a secondary concern. it's also why he was charged with espionage and not breach of contract. his court case can now be behind closed doors because of "national security concerns".
and newsflash: PRISM is a Bush-era program, it started in 2007 (AKA before Obama was elected). it is disgusting that Obama hasn't rescinded it, but to call them "Obama programs" is disingenuous.
The government can listen to the calls but they can't use them against you in court unless they get a warrant. I assume.
you've proven yourself to be misinformed on a lot of things, so you'll forgive me for not trusting what you assume.
one of the concepts of our legal system is "innocent until proven guilty". the government can't listen to whatever it wants, "just in case", and then retroactively get a warrant to use stuff it wasn't allowed to collect in the first place. the innocent should not have to give up their rights to catch the guilty.
