re: Snowden and Putin really throwing it down on us now.

Justice Scalia said today at the National Press Club that he does not necessarily consider listening to conversations and gathering information a violation of the 4th amendment. He referred to the 4th amendment's "right to privacy" as vague. He goes on to say that the Supreme Court is the least qualified to decide on wire tapping, etc.

Given the danger that its guarded against, the govt gathering the information may be justified in its actions. He says nothing is absolute.

An interesting conversation which included Justice Ginsburg.
