Well, you seem determined to avoid actually addressing what I am saying. The Constitution harshly proscribes dishonest statements by officials to lawmakers. The surveillance policy was sold through lies and obfuscation to both Congresspeople and the general public. The American people may not broadly oppose espionage, but unless they broadly support it with actual foreknowledge of the specific policies, the lack of opposition is irrelevant. It is hardly surprising that no one is sure what to think in such an environment. Snowden's leaks have changed that to some extent, and hopefully they will continue to shed light on these policies so that an informed decision can finally be made. EDIT: And seriously you can't read a paragraph of text without getting snarky? You asked what the Constitution had to say and I responded in detail.
