The NSA asks for "general warrants" and you think that's "reasonable"?
NSA: Can we spy on everyone at once?
FISA: Why yes of course you can - BUT, you have to fill out this form first...and do it properly or we'll never approve you!
NSA: Oh..but that's such a drag! Okay, fine, we'll do it.
That's kind of what seems to be happening.

- ikeboy 11y agoThat's not what happened here.
- bitJericho 11y agoCould have fooled me.
- ikeboy 11y agoNot sure if you read the OP, but it made it clear the conflicting ruling was from the Second Circuit, not the Supreme Court. Also, the Second Circuit ruling was based on Congress not being clear on what was allowed; now that Congress passed another law that extends bulk collection for 6 months, that argument no longer applies.
- ikeboy 11y agoI didn't say that, I actually have little idea what has been requested. I was just explaining what the above comment meant. Also, my "reasonable" meant "legally reasonable".
