In light of yesterday's congressional vote to enable warrantless spying on American citizens, it's worth asking: How is this even allowed when the 4th Amendment guarantees protection against just that? Thank Nancy Pelosi. As Speaker of the House in 2008, she led the push for Congress to retroactively legalize Bush and Cheney's domestic spying program. Watch:
@SystemUpdate_ Can #SCOTUS not intervene on this subject? Keeping things constitutional is their job, right?
@SystemUpdate_ Why doesn’t someone challenge it in court and have the court rule it unconstitutional?
@SystemUpdate_ Maybe they can catch BigPharma lying about everything.
@SystemUpdate_ @ggreenwald Yes, it's an interesting question. And one that should be asked of American traitor @SpeakerJohnson at his trial.
@SystemUpdate_ How has this not been challenged and overturned in court yet????
@SystemUpdate_ They screwed us all with the Patriot Act!
@SystemUpdate_ @ggreenwald Imagine if Putin had made this decision Imagine the U.S. Networks ….you would never hear the end of it
@SystemUpdate_ Realize that as long as this exists, we are not "citizens", we are prisoners. In prison, warrantless surveillance and searches are lawful and legitimate, of course...
Its really concerning to see how our privacy is being compromised like this. We all deserve to feel safe and secure in our own country. Its crucial that we advocate for policies that protect our rights while still ensuring national security. We need to find that balance.
