There are plenty of laws. The problem here is that "law" doesn't mean anything if there's no one to enforce it. Will wiretapping laws be enforced against you?

There are plenty of laws. The problem here is that "law" doesn't mean anything if there's no one to enforce it. Will wiretapping laws be enforced against you? Yes. If you wiretap the government they're going to do a Bradley Manning on you - solitary naked confinement. Will wiretapping laws be enforced against the President, the NSA, the FBI, the CIA, Verizon executives, Level3 executives, and so on? No. There's consensus among the Congress and Judiciary and President on those two things. And that's the problem. The words of the law are meaningless if enforcement depends on who the violator is.
