Forum Post: Warrantless Surveillance: Should the Bill of Rights Matter?

Obama Administration Asks Supreme Court to Dismiss ACLU Challenge to Warrantless Wiretapping Law.

“It’s crucial that the government’s surveillance activities be subject to constitutional limits, but the administration’s argument would effectively insulate the most intrusive surveillance programs from judicial review. The Supreme Court should leave the appeals court’s ruling in place and allow our constitutional challenge to proceed.” - ACLU deputy legal director Jameel Jaffer.

"I'm not disgusted at President Obama personally. It's President Obama's policies on civil liberties and national security issues I'm disgusted by." - ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero

From the Patriot Act to the provisions in the NDAA; amendments 4, 5, and 6 are down. This is being done by both republicans and democrats.
