> This dragnet surveillance violates the First and Fourth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution, which protect citizens' right to speak and associate anonymously and guard against unreasonable searches and seizures that protect their right to privacy.
The use of "protect" near the end of this sentence confuses me. Do they mean "violate"? Am I wrong to parse the final "that" as referring to the unreasonable searches? Is there any chance of clarifying this language given that this has already been made public?
