I don't think any of this really matters. If the Supreme Court decided tomorrow that anything the NSA does is unconstitutional then the laws would either be rewritten immediately or the government would challenge the ruling and force the justices to change their minds. The Us government answers to no one, and that includes the Supreme Court.

"John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!" (this is not a new problem)
