    That law, recently reauthorized and expanded by Congress for another six years, gives U.S. intelligence agencies, including the NSA, FBI, and CIA, the ability to search, read, and share our private electronic messages without first obtaining a warrant.

    This seems to be a violation of the 4th Amendment. I don't like big brother in any form. To obtain info without a warrant is illegal.

    Of course it's against the 4th Amendment, but the patriot act rendered the 4th null and void years ago. Snowden's revelations confirmed the null and void status.

    You're absolutely right, and correctly angry about it, but it's old news.

    The escalation of data collection as well as search and seizure without a warrant has been expanding at a meteoric speed. Some states have now allowed searches f vehicles without a warrant to be legal.

    This is a sickening endorsement of big statist tyranny, overreach by government legislative fiat and is all unconstitutional.

    Republicans are hell bent on destroying our constitutional rights. They already green lit companies to sell our personal data last year.

    The bigger problem appears to be how it will allow foreign countries to access data.

    Both parties participate in the assault on constitutional rights.
