The main thing in all text of US Constitution as signed by the Fathers of the State is to defend US against foreign and domestic actions trying to change or attack US democracy as defined and signed in the Constitution.
This directly limits the possibility for any given President of US and/or for the Congress as well as for US Senate to change that without changing US democracy. It’s simple as that. Safety of the State in accordance to the Constitution is what it’s all about. No person, president of US, member of US Congress or Senate is excluded from that.
US Constitution
Article III section 2.
”….The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.”
Please observe that it’s said that ‘the Trial shall be…. may by Law have directed”. Same goes in every given country on Earth: A Constitution gives the limits as well as set the demands for what law texts may contain. No country on Earth, democratic or not, gives a clearance for attacks by terrorists, spies or any in Laws named criminals such as drug dealers, pedophiles, illegal autonom groups working against the State (or Country) to be excluded!
Important for All discussing the NSA activity in US is to read: The Preamble to The Bill of Rights: …..
ARTICLES in addition to, and Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America, proposed by Congress, and ratified by the Legislatures of the several States, pursuant to the fifth Article of the original Constitution.
Please observe: …pursuant to the fifth Article of the original Constitution
If taken time to read and understand what the fifth Article say, there is a very important line which many persons in US and especially outside US forgotten to take in:
…..that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Section of the first Article; and that no State, without its Consent, shall be deprived of its equal Suffrage in the Senate.
What does the first and fourth Clauses in the Ninth Sextion of the first Article say? They deal with taxation and they don’t give any rights what so ever for any person to be excluded from the laws and the Constitution given by US the United States to defend democracy of US. Please read and take in the pretext to US Constitution:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America
That’s the way it is from a Constitutional view. An other thing is that everyone, in US as well as in the rest of the World, by accepting the terms of agreement for them to have and use an internet-account, a mobile phone etc have accepted themselves that their provider have the rights to among other thing to follow the laws in US as well as in any other country where they use mobile phones/PC/laptops and so on.
As I wrote in Congratulations, you accepted and you are paying, Norah4you 2014/01/17
– if you by any chance are among those whose transactions or actions are checked by authorities due to suspicion of you being a terrorist, being money laundring or any of all the categories which simply can be summond as one of the five major priority for Interpol and UN, then I understand you are afraid…. otherwise it’s one of the best securities there is against all trying to attack democracy and person’s rights!
If you are innocent, you needn’t be worried at all!
Grading President Obama’s NSA speech, Washingtonpost.com 2014/01/18
Obama sets good course on privacy debate, CNN January 17, 2014 As everyone ought to understand President Obama is limited by US Constitution giving total clearing for privacy to animies of the State as well as to other hard criminals. It’s not possible to clear a person by looking at him/her or by looking at a person’s title etc.
NSA Collecting Text Messages, Jeff Danzigeer Huffingtonpost 01/18/2014 One of all who forgotten to read the small lined when accepting terms…..
NSA critics in Congress sense reform momentum after Obama speech, the Guardian 2014/jan/18 The Guardian once again tries to spread desinformation. First the Guardian should take a closer look of Bills of Rights at home! Then they ought to read US Constitution better as well! A total freedom in accordance to today’s belivers dreaming of a never existing Society a la Rousseau, never was and never will be possible at all.
The last suggestion goes for the New York Time as well. With Plan to Overhaul Spying, the Divisiveness Is in the Details, NYT 2014/01/19

READ and try to understand what’s the limits due to need of defending democracy. the net and cellphone usage aren’t a Wild Western” Neither on net nor by using ‘air-communication’ such as mobile phones! Democracy needs to be defended against those who don’t accept Constitution, Laws and Democracy!
