...so says Senator Kit Bond (R-Missouri).
Sen. Bond was *fully* briefed on the NSA programs and said that your phone call info (he calls it business records) is not protected by the 4th Amendment. Thus you don't need a search warrant.
He relayed this on the Newshour with Jim Lehrer over the objections of Senator Patrick Leahy.
On edit:
He also says thet Gen Hayden of NSA executed the orders (didn't originate them) to get phone records *after* the orders had been cleared by Dept. of Justice lawyers.

2. I've got a great idea.. |
|
let's illegally monitor his calls,
isn't it a matter of days before you catch a GOPer with a hooker, drugs or illegal money laundering?
tap his calls and then shove him outta office by the scandal...
that's what he deserves for thinking phone calls are not an extension of our right to privacy nationwide....

This dude needs to leave the drugs alone.

6. I knew it wouldn't be long before we heard that |
|
Even asking questions about it gives aid and comfort to the enemy. Now the terrorists will stop using their home phones!

12. Smith v. Maryland, 442 U.S. 735 (1979) |

Edited on Thu May-11-06 10:21 PM by JDPriestly
6 to 3 decision, the three being Stewart, Brennan and Marshall (Powell not participating). I believe that decision is about to be overturned by public outrage. The argument of the majority was that we have no legitimate expectation of privacy to the information about the numbers we call because we hand that information over to the telephone companies. I think most Americans respectfully disagree with the Supreme Court on that one -- especially here where millions of people's records have been obtained including undoubtedly millions who have not the slightest connection to criminal activity.

13. Do I have this "right"? |
|
Phone "records" are not protected. But, phone "conversations" are protected.
Remember when the entire right-wing got itself into an uproar about George Miller(?) "leaking" the intercepted conversation of some right-wing congress-critters (Newt?) talking about their slash-and-burn strategy?
