"To assure our country's freedom, the government should be able to spy on its citizens."
The right to privacy is a right granted by the United States constitution. The fact that this law was clearly violated and approved by our current president makes me incredulous, given the fact that he came under almost no punishment. However a recently passed act called the "Patriot Act" allows the President to declare anyone an "enemy combatant" meaning that essentially no laws protect them. I think this is ridiculously unconstitutional and should be disregarded when speaking in terms of the prompt. I think that without a warrant, no government official should be able in intrude on the privacy of any citizen protected by the U.D. constitution.

I completely agree with you, Johannes. Any government spying on its own citizens contradicts the U.S. constitution and could possibly lead to a socialist society similar to the setting in 1984 with telescreens and thought police monitoring everything anyone does, says, or thinks. There would be no more privacy and no more freedom.
Shoot I keep forgetting to leave my name. The one above was Zoe Storck
