re: #15 Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All

Separate acts involved.

The criminality of Snowden relates to the theft of classified documents, means, and methods, as well as the dissemination of those items to persons who were not entitled to them.

He was not entitled to determine what was or wasn’t classified.

That’s separate and distinct from the claim that if something “deemed legal by Congress, but could be unconstitutional if someone had standing, but standing couldn’t be created unless the information came to light, then if part or all of the data collection were deemed later to be unconstitutional.”

The ends don’t justify the means here either. Snowden, via Greenwald and others, wantonly released documents referring to far more than just domestic surveillance. This wasn’t just about limiting or ending domestic surveillance. It’s about hobbling NSA surveillance in totality.
