    The constitution doesn’t say “spying”…it says searches. Searching for shit with a wide blanket and no actual specific target, is an unreasonable search because they aren’t limiting it to a specific citizen. That’s what warrants are for.

    You have this misconception that the government is restricted from SPYING on its own citizens. That’s actually not true at all. We have specific stipulations on allowing it, in fact.

    But our government is not simply to just collect BLANKETS of data, and look for a criminal within them. They need to suspect a criminal, and then get the data pertaining to that person. NOT every single person in America.

    You really need to get an education, because you’re misunderstanding the purpose of the constitution and what it protects citizens against. Because your interpretation of it is completely fucking ass backwards.

    I’m trying to give you the reasons that a normal high school educator would give you, but you refuse to accept them, and instead argue from a moral low ground of ignorance. You asked a question. I answered it. You didn’t like the answer and say it’s something else…so why the fuck did you ask the question in the first place? Governments are not to obtain this information en-mass for the purposes of just sifting through it to MAKE a suspect appear out of thin air.
