So Obama is pro civil liberties, but hey, you want to compromise now, because as soon as a(nother) big thing happens (9/11), Congress will come in and do whatever it pleases to do an end around any privacy concerns. The scary thing is that privacy is not one of the 'inalienable' rights in the Constitution, and it needs to be built up in the Bill of Rights via interpretation of the various amendments, the ninth being the general blanket one here. I don't get it; this is the work-issued phone they are fighting over. It's been said before. The terrorists destroyed their personal phones, not their work phones. If this isn't a power play by the government and law enforcement, in light of that fact, then how do you rationalize this President Obama?
