4th amendment -- what is it good for?

More sunshine for detainees -- less for American citizens

Apparently the whole democratic establishment, and of course the entire republican caucus, thinks its just fine to sanctify the principle that the government can spy on Americans anytime it chooses. The congressional black caucus seems a bit worried but, you know, they remember the excess of J. Edgar Hoover, who would not doubt slaver over this legislation.

The bill, by the way, also exculpates the telecom industry from being handmaidens in past -- and I daresay we may anticipate -- future wholesale spying. No accountability here.
