but in terms of of the war was wiretapping
uh... in again the five-four decision date day dismiss the case basically
saying that the executive branch has the right to do warrantless wiretapping
and uh... their reasoning was all well there's no evidence that the government
is doing any wrongdoing
yeah but that's that's the point
is that the government
is not legally obligated to release their evidence
you not see that catch-twenty two
and that was the majority opinion is that all there's no evidence to conclude
that uh... you guys have a real or reason to be suspicious of the
government of wiretapping people they should be wiretapping
yeah but the reason that there's not all that much evidence is because they don't
have to release the evidence why don't you understand that
and that they're asking for in the case
it's not like
uh... the challengers saying hey you're not allowed to do any wiretapping
know the whole idea is sure beer the executive branch you can do whatever
kind of wiretapping you want to do
as long as you get a call warrants for wrists
right and oh and you can use the excuse
although that's cumbersome
but it takes time and we might not get it in time in ya ya ya all takes is a
*** phone call
and judge you can hear your evidence over the phone cell kind but you have
you have the ability to do it
it's a minimal amount of oversight is not asking for a lot
and one of the main reasons why this was an issue is that
there's been mold spore reports in the press
odd going back tears now right even uh... during the bush administration and
on forward
where the press has reported on instances were people
we're getting spying on that had nothing to do
with terrorism
and never were engaged in any wrongdoing and had no reason to be spot
so not only was the decision
uh... a little bit of a catch-twenty two in the sense that they're saying oh you
don't have evidence
meanwhile that's the whole point is that the governor's withholding evidence
right
uh... but also big business a certain amount of evidence and in fact i think
it was a justice brynner
don't quote me on that but there was one our justice who
uh... had in interesting line in his dissent
he said that's essentially like saying
uh... yet training really hard but the grant the ground isn't getting wet
so in other words there's all these indicators that the government is using
these tremendous technological drag nets to get everybody's information in check
emails and check phone calls eccentric and there's no oversight whatsoever
and there's all this evidence indicating that they're doing it
or the court ruled his okay so what do training that doesn't mean the ground is
where
it actually does it's a tremendous indicator and that's the point
see that's the thing
is it's so
or amazing and so curious
a supposedly conservative court
just ruled in favor
but the whole original idea of conservatism was supposed to be about
small government supposed to be about getting government out of our lives
soviet wandering out of our lives and you want to limit government
washing their hands forty
without any oversight whatsoever to spy on any american
