I don't disagree, but that's not the point being debated. But while we are at it, what law did that information break?
Because mining everyones data without their knowledge is the same as:
*Invading their home without a warrant
*Claiming their property
Amendment IV
Privacy of the Person and Possessions
secrets to the enemy.
Yeah because we're all the enemy. We're all suspected terrorists. The citizens. Cause like, we're the ones he gave this information to. And that information was a secret, because it was ILLEGAL.
You don't think his admission of leaking the documents grants law enforcement probable cause that he leaked the documents?
Not when the documents detailed information that these policies violate several amendments of the constitution, including the bill of rights. That makes him a hero, not a criminal. You can't call someone a criminal simply for tattling on criminals.
You lost me here.
It means you can't use your rights as an excuse to crusade and deprive everyone else their rights.
Huh? This is a good argument against Gitmo, if you presume that the constitution applies to foreigners, but I can't see what you are saying here for this
No. Your personal information is your property. The government has no right to just deprive you of that on a whim. The NSA and other spying programs are in BLATANT violation of law.
Take a look. Actually read this stuff, will you?
No State shall... deprive any person of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law.
