I have attached an article written by Andrew Napalitano in the Washington Times. Mr. Napalitano, a former superior court judge in New Jersey, discusses the legality of the government spying. He discusses not only the NSA spying as revealed by Edward Snowden, but also the spying of the FBI and local police.
The government would have you believe that Congress has changed the constitution in order to make the spying done by the CIA and NSA legal. But Napalitano states that only the states can change the constitution. The NSA assumes that crimes are being committed and they begin by searching everyone everywhere to see if they can discover the crime and find who is doing it. In all of the hub-bub surrounding the NSA spying, there is very little evidence that anyone has been arrested and tried. Possibly, this is because all of the evidence has been collected illegally.
The FBI and local law enforcement see what the NSA is doing and they want to get in on the act. It makes their job so much easier if they can violate the constitution to collect evidence. Local police are now engaging in broad surveillance of cell phone activity. They maintain that they do this to keep us safe from crime. However, their effort is contradictory if they break the law to fight crime.
Is Pervasive NSA Surveillance & Hacking Part of a Broader Conspiracy?
Readers of this page are well aware of
the revelations during the past six months of spying by the National
Security Agency (NSA). Edward Snowden, a former employee of an NSA
vendor, risked his life and liberty to inform us of a governmental
conspiracy to violate our right to privacy, a right guaranteed by the
Fourth Amendment.
The conspiracy he revealed is vast. It
involves former President George W. Bush, President Obama, their
aides, a dozen or so members of Congress, federal judges, executives
and technicians for American computer servers and telecommunications
companies, and the thousands of NSA employees and vendors who have
manipulated their fellow conspirators. The conspirators all agreed
that it would be a crime for any of them to reveal the conspiracy.
Mr. Snowden violated that agreement in order to uphold his higher
oath to defend the Constitution.
The object of the conspiracy is to
emasculate all Americans and many foreigners of their right to
privacy in order to predict our behavior and make it easier to find
among us those who are planning harm.
A conspiracy is an agreement among two
or more persons to commit a crime. The crimes consist of capturing
the emails, texts and phone calls of every American, tracing the
movements of millions of Americans and foreigners via the GPS system
in their cellphones, seizing the bank records and utility bills of
most Americans in direct contravention of the Constitution, and
pretending to do so lawfully. The pretense is that somehow Congress
lessened the standard for spying that is set forth in the
Constitution. It is, of course, inconceivable that Congress can
change the Constitution (only the states can), but the conspirators
would have us believe that it has done so.
The Constitution, which was written in
the aftermath of the unhappy colonial experience with British
soldiers who executed general warrants upon the colonists, forbids
that practice today. That practice consists of judges authorizing
government agents to search for whatever they want, wherever they
wish to look. By requiring a warrant from a judge based on probable
cause of criminal behavior on the part of the very person the
government is investigating, however, and by requiring judges to
describe particularly in the warrants they issue the places to be
searched or the persons or things to be seized, the Constitution
specifically outlaws general warrants.
