Think of it this way: If we set the precedent that this sort of surveillance is unconstitutional, it will be easier to sue them the next time around. Additionally, if we take this stance as a country, then our government will be more likely to put pressure on foreign powers not to do the same. That said, I don't disagree about encryption being the real answer. We've gone too long without end-to-end encryption by default. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be fighting on both fronts. End-to-end encryption will take a while, why not fight the fact that they're doing it at the same time?
