And you don’t think it’s concerning at all that the only oversight a massive surveillance program has is a (secret) court that always says yes?

And I agree with you - it’s probably all above board. There are some good people working at the NSA and I don’t think they’re reading emails just for kicks. It’s the fact that there is a substantial program at all, which has the capability to be misused by an administration that might not be as ethical as the one currently in office. That’s what’s scary.

You remember in batman, where Bruce setup that massive cell phone listening thing, and morgan freeman said I can’t be a part of this? No one thought batman was about to misuse the power, it was the fact that no one should have that power in the first place.
