You need to consider the goal of the Constitution: to prevent tyranny. Everything in the Bill of Rights was put there to thwart a known tactic of tyrants. Today there are new tools that give the tyrants new tactics, and we need to make sure our Constitutional protections keep pace. It may be that the courts will decline to extend our existing protections, since they don't literally apply; but it's a good first step.
