So Why Are You Still In Your Chair, Americans?
What if you discovered that Presidents Bush and Obama have both intentionally, willfully and with malice violated the law by authorizing mass spying on Americans that was never authorized by any law passed by Congress, and representations to the contrary were a lie?
May 7, 2015 A federal appeals court ruled on Thursday that the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of U.S. phone records is illegal, dealing a startling blow to the program just as Congress is weighing reforms to surveillance authorities.
A three-judge panel of the 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals deemed that dragnet collection of American call data does not constitute information relevant to terrorism investigations under Section 215 of the Patriot Act.
The controversial program, exposed publicly nearly two years ago by Edward Snowden, “exceeds the scope of what Congress has authorized,” Judge Gerard Lynch wrote in his decision.
In other words Section 215 never authorized any such mass-collection of data on Americans.
Why is it that everyone involved in this crap up and down the line, including those at the NSA, are not under federal indictment right now as a result?
Why aren’t you demanding that?
Do we still have a Constitution and The Rule of Law — or not?
Your actions in the coming days and weeks decide that latter question.
