Re: The NSA spying on innocent American citizens

I agree. I think that it's wrong, as a matter of principle, whether or not it would actually affect my life in a tangible way, and a large part of why I didn't vote for Obama (not this program specifically, obviously, but civil liberties in general). I think it's an invasion of privacy and an abuse of liberty and a totally unreasonable extension of government, and I think if they want to make the case that it's justified on the grounds of necessity and security, they have to at least make their case somewhat openly instead of hiding away all the details of the program. If America can be said to be a republic, they must obey the laws; if it can be said to be a republic, they have to accept on a fundamental level the capacity of the people to make the choice for themselves.

And it's not just that there's a surveillance program being adopted; it's that there's an entire structure of surveillance, an entire security apparatus that is constantly being expanded, that is largely out of the purview of the normal process of law, that is unaccountable and secret.

(For reference, I voted for Jill Stein)
