America support domestic spying without requiring a warrant?

David Sirota writes:

The truth is, domestic surveillance operations happen all the time. But they are also governed by the U.S. Constitution's 4th Amendment, which explicitly protects citizens against "unreasonable search and seizures" and requires the executive branch to obtain a warrant from the objective judiciary branch in order to do surveillance operations.

This controversy has to do with whether America believes in the Constitution's separation of powers between an executive and a judicial branch – the separation that quite literally differentiates our form of government from any old dictatorship, where when the monarch snaps his fingers, the secret police immediately target the unsuspecting citizen. That's about as un-American as you get – and that's why we need to know whether those who hold high office in this country think they can turn our democracy into their autocracy.



The NeoCon Right Wing Bush fluffers are votin' for the Autocracy thing! Now that Domestic spying is now legal and all, I wonder who President Hillary will spy on.
