    The 'reasonable' argument of Craig234

    who says "The 4th amendment says that people are free from unreasonable searches and seizure, without a warrant." and then argues that the administration makes the assessment of what is reasonable.

    The problem is, assessing something like 'reasonable' requires something called 'nuance', which this administration by it's own admission 'doesn't do'. Thus we can rest assured that the end, spying on Americans, was a forgone conclusion just like the Iraq war. To these criminals 'reasonable' is only a** cover for their criminal behavior and should not be misinterpreted as having any rational basis and should be resisted strenuously.
