[quote]Oh, and Rex, don't feel too down on yourself. The best political discussion comes when people of different viewpoints can say, "I understand what you believe and why you believe it. I respectfully disagree." or "I see what you mean. I'm kind of leaning towards your view now..."[/quote]

This is not a discussion about the acceptability of the NSA's surveillance program.
This is about the semantics and intent of the Consitution, and how some are so quick to interpret it liberally when it suits them, but verbatim and without context and intent when it does not.
