Even if the courts ruled it as illegal, how can the ruling be enforced on clandestine operations? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

  The solution to one problem should not be discounted on the grounds that it doesn't solve every problem. >Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? You say this as though there were a known solution to the problem. You may as well say "what about the heat death of the universe?" Quid de morte ad universum calorem, if you prefer ;)

    >>Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? >You say this as though there were a known solution to the problem. The opposite, actually.

      So then did you have an actual point, or were you just bringing up one of the biggest unsolved problems of all times? I'll say it again: you could have argued "what about the heat death of the universe" and it would have been just as substantive a contribution...

        >bringing up one of the biggest unsolved problems of all times? Yeah. Suing the NSA is not going to solve this problem, which was my original point.
