ACLU v. NSA

No, the Executive Branch should not be able to listen to person conversations without a warrant or any type of notification because..... In 2006 the count ruled in favor of ACLU, stating that Bush (President) could not wiretap without court issued warrant. By the NSA doing so they are violating the peoples First and Fourth Amendments along with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The Framers never wanted the President to have such uncontrollable powers, Bush was clearing disregarding the enumerated powers given to him by the Bill of Rights. The opposing side could argue that, anyone could be the next terrorist. Although that may be true, listening to conversations and them knowing that NSA is listening it going to make them not want to say the things they would in private. That is no help to anyone and it makes the ones that really are harmless feel uncomfortable in the "comfort" in the own home. They could also argue that, things said that are regarding terrorism will be ignored. Even though, NSA is disregarding things like that doesn't mean they need to know. With the NSA wiretapping and ease dropping they could find out information that they really do not need to know.
