Domestic spying is unconstitutional — period
Posted on Jan 24, 2006 by jason
Those who believe the country is safer with Bush’s domestic spying program do not realize that safety comes in many forms, one of which is the safety of our constitutional rights. Anyone who thinks that it’s OK for Americans to be spied upon without warrant and due process is ignorant of the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Here is the text of that part for the many who have never read the damned thing.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
There is no ambiguity here. The Constitution does not make exceptions. This is the law of our land, and no one, not even a president, is above its jurisdiction.
