That quote made me feel sick to my stomach. I mean, I knew it had gotten that bad...I've been involved in Restore The Fourth organizing, and before that I've been paying close attention to all the previous leaks about the surveillance state. But, knowing it and seeing a judge state it outright is two very different things. It used to be under cover. It only happened in the darkness of secret documents and agencies. Now, it's come out into the light of day...and they're getting away with it. Not even getting away with it, really...they're wearing it proudly, as though they are the people in the right; they honestly believe they are the people who have nothing to hide or be ashamed of. It's astonishing that more of our reps aren't standing up and shouting about this. So many of the people in power are complicit, it feels hopeless at times.
