I think a few of you don't understand my point, so perhaps I didn't explain it very well. The US government is on the verge of becoming a totalitarian regime.

The US government is on the verge of becoming a totalitarian regime.
The US government is on the verge of throwing out the Constitution & just doing whatever the hell it wants from now on.
The US government is on the verge of declaring that there is no such thing as a law, only some rules it has decided to enforce to its own benefit
You want Americans to focus on fighting this, using our laws and Constitution as a legal basis, or do you want us to waste our time gnashing our teeth in front of the Fox News crowd that foreigners - which to the Fox News crowd means, "al Queda, Mexican drug cartels, smugglers, etc" - are having their email read?
In WWII there were a lot of sacrifices made so that Hitler & the Nazis didn't win. The war was more important than the battles or the individuals.
Spying on foreigners is an important issue. It just isn't the most important issue right now, so you'll have to take a backseat for a while. If we don't block this for Americans, you have absolutely no chance of having it blocked for you.

But this much has always been true. Are we closer to a totalitarian regime than when we imprisoned all Americans of Japanese descent, or when we threw people in prison for speaking out against World War I, or when COINTELPRO and MKULTRA were going on? The bulk of the system remains safely in place. A government on the verge of throwing out the constitution does not have a Supreme Court throwing out federal laws.
