May it be that the circumstances are more than just "privacy being stripped." For instance, what does the administration have to gain from spying en masse vs. what does that administration have to gain by spying specifically on another branch of government? I'm not saying either of those things are ethical, rather that the second one is different and we should be upset about it for different reasons. We can be upset at both, but to say they 100% the same is not understanding the larger situation. * I don't know the congressman's own record about spying on the populace, but if he's all for it then I don't agree with that.
