It's an awesome idea, except for one thing:
It's very clear that there is one law for the public and another, secret law for the NSA. Furthermore, if it turns out that the secret law is inconvenient, they'll just do an end-run around that and ignore it.
The laws are already mostly there. One major problem is that there is little to no public consequence for breaking those laws. Public officials are given trust and the tools to do things that are far beyond the abilities of ordinary citizens. Should not the punishment for breaking those laws be accordingly greater?
Right now, they do it because they have no fear.
