Yes, sorry I didn't expand on this. The capabilities of the IC have changed (during Cold War, after Church Committee, after 9/11, etc).

I would argue the US military could invade another country and "there's nothing you can do". We, as lowly citizens, have no standing in court and no authority over the NSA/DoD/CIA (except through our elected representatives).
