Big Debate

NSA does have the right to do warrantless wiretapping because it is done so with the nation's best interest in mind.

The National Security Agency uses wiretapping to stop the war on terror. No information found about any individual may be used against them unless they are considered a threat to national security. Even then, the information found only lead to further investigations.

Some will argue that this violates the Fourth Amendment of unreasonable search and seizure. However, NSA looks only at people who are suspected to be related to Al Qaeda. This means that there is probable cause to wiretap these individuals, which makes it constitutional.
