Understanding NSA boss James Clapper's France-spying "denial"

I see. So you’ve got it worked out where it’s perfectly legal for the NSA to spy on whomever they want, critics be damned. Oddly, a large number of people disagree. I guess they just aren’t as smart as you.

It is my understanding the US Constitution also protects murderers and rapists. It is also my understanding the NSA is not only wiretapping convicted felons, but everybody.

It’s true that all of us, if examined closely enough, is guilty of something. Are you arguing for the kind of “democracy” in which all are presumed guilty and subject to constant surveillance? I don’t think that’s what the framers of the Constitution had in mind when writing the 4th Amendment, which I see you have argued protects nobody at any time.

They hate us for our freedoms.
