The hearings are over.

The NSA said they have only made 300 "queries" of suspected terrorists since 2007? So what are those 1000 analysts doing all the time?

300 queries and we're building a massive data center in Utah with storage never before achieved and we've just broken ground on a second one.
The NSA boasts software capable of reading a quadrillion emails per day.

LOL at that 300.

Those analysts are analyzing the records of everyone else

They can carefully word anything they say to be truthful. Notice the distinction they made between having access to the data and using it. The Big T gives them Carte Blanche to do many things. You can look in the US code for definitions. Pretty broad.

Americans over time have spent so much in blood and money to conserve our "American way of life or American ideals". We now see that those at home are working so hard behind the scene to destroy our basic American concepts. Today we need Americans to stand up for America.

Really doesn't matter at this o point has likely the program will eventually in up in supreme court as to whether the search are constitutional or not. IMO if same search case law is followed as established by courts over many decades its not going to stand as reasonable allowed by constitution. In the face of ruing by the courts in organized crime and murder cases the ole "for you protection isn't going to fly either.

Congress is corporate employees. Only "people" are going to stand up for themselves.

And just who will bring it to the Supreme Court ?
They can't even get a lower court opinion released.
The DOJ is actively blocking it.
The Room 641A case got dismissed because they passed the Immunity amendment and made it retroactive so the AT&T case had no merit.
