- dotnet00 5y agoA whole 6 years after the information was made public by a whistleblower who's still treated as a criminal. Surely you can see how little that means for constitutional enforcement? All they have to do is mark everything as secret, aggressively pursue whistleblowers, and if they happen to get caught, just have the secret court admit guilt without consequences and let the public assume all is well again. Rinse and repeat. After all, it isn't like they didn't know what they were doing, they explicitly ignored the restrictions placed on them by relying on secrecy and legal loopholes.
