News: US Courts conclude that the surveillance program uncovered by Edward Snowden was illegal
Hi, everybody. This is Taylor with some more daily swell news. Hope your week is going well. Those of you familiar with Edward Snowden might remember him from several years back when he revealed to the public a massive massive surveillance initiative led by the US government, Snowden had uncovered evidence that the NSA had been collecting and stockpiling an incredible amount of US telephone records, effectively creating a database that contained the private information of millions and millions of Americans
You can be a Trump supporter. You can be an Obama supporter. You can be a George W. Bush supporter. You can be a Bill Clinton supporter, whatever. Whatever era it was in government does not take precedence over the Constitution. That is a document that gives us or tells us what our enumerated rights are

That's the whole problem with our government getting caught with their hand in the cookie jar, not repenting instead of owning up to their mistakes and apologizing and doing better. Same reason why they're still reaping what they stone with African Americans, and they need to own up to what they do wrong and just fix it like the supposedly Christian nation that it is. Actually, you know what it is? We need, like the twelve Steps. We're addicted to power and money

But personally, I just don't know what else you would do. Normally, when something that's this illegal happens on this scale, you go to your government and be like, oh, my gosh. Look at this horrendous espionage operation in progress. What do you do when you can't do that? Well, you can go to your normal newspapers, but are they going to publish this? Is it going to have to go through government sources first? What's going to happen with that?
