Do you feel that President Obama has overstepped his bounds?

Very Much So!

I’m scared what he will do next…

i think it is very wrong about this…but on the other hand if you arent doing anything wrong you should have nothing to hide…..

i cant drive yet but it would be creepy to have someone know where you were all the time… he better not try to do that to ppl!

It is sort of scary… because of the total acquiescence on the part of the people to such a power grab. The supreme court have behaved in a more justifiable manner than I would have expected… but it is becoming apparent that the judiciary’s power is ineffectual. So many people have come to view any action carried out by the federal government… and the executive in particular… as benevolent… that such an abuse of our civil liberties is seen as inconsequntial anymore. Things will not change until we do.

I’d say so. Then again our 4th amendment protections have been a bad joke for decades.

You’re right. I do not intend this question to point the finger at the current administration as if it is in uncharted waters. Though… by many measurements… this administration has advanced the executive’s power further than any before… the assassination writs on citizens was one such policy that I feel would have been much more scrutinized had it not occurred under a progressive administration. My purpose in asking the question is that I feel there is a tangible paucity in the political sphere currently to question such an abuse of power. Since silence lends consent… and acquiescence leads to tyranny… someone must speak up.

so… we’re guilty until proven innocent?

Remember Ronald Reagan’s 11th commandment? Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican. On the left a lot of people are afraid that criticizing the President Obama will simply make it easier for those much worse to get into power.

i did not say that! If you have nothing to hide.WHY does it matter if you they are tracking you.yes i think it is wrong.but if you think about it if you aint doing anything wrong it doesnt matter. when ever a political leader trys to make a law that i don’t understand i try to understand it.

Picture that the police never need a warrant to search your house. You have nothing to hide, but your psychotic next door neighbor keeps calling the police and telling them you’re selling illegal substances. They show up to search your house regularly. You have nothing to hide. Is it REALLY okay that they can just walk in and pull all the stuff out of your cupboards and drawers? Humans have rights. They are not supposed to be controlled or owned by anyone or any organization.

Sorry, just one more thing. Try not to be too naiive about political leaders and their agendas. They are mostly doing things for votes or money. Most politicians get where they are by being ruthless, charismatic and greedy. We are not talking about the Mother Theresas of the world. Most politicians started out as lawyers. What does that tell you?

Much worse would be what exactly?

@joejoeryan: To be certain… the burden of proof is placed upon the governmeent to prove the guilt of a person… not the other way around. In order for police to ascertain a warrant for further investigation… they must first prove reasonable suspicion before a court and be granted the warrant to proceed. You are essentially arguing that those persons surveilled must through their actions then prove their innocence. It matters because one right recognized by our Bill of Rights is the right to be secure in our property and possessions against unreasonable searches and seizures. If we are not assured these rights… how can we ever “own” anything. We would then be living under a receivership form of property rights. As pinkpearl pointed out… we could be harassed constantly… with no avenue for recourse. I hope this aids in your understanding.
