So in order for the government to get around the constitution and engage in
prohibited activities, they just have to do it all secretly!

> The 5-4 decision (.pdf) by Justice Samuel Alito was a clear victory...
Even Wired is in on the conspiracy. 5-4 is a split decision in my book,
and a tightly split one at that, no way a clear victory.
Tor-like phone anonomisers have been around for a long time.
This will produce a brief flurry in their popularity before they
are declared illegal.

Haw can anyone say it is being done secretly except those
doing it? And if they
say they are, then it is no longer
secret. The Supreme Court is definitely in
on it for sure
and is just as corrupt as the rest of the government as far
as I
can tell by their actions of late.
Lets see ...
1) Significant transfers of
wealth and property from the
citizens to the wealthy by the government.
2)
Significant losses of personal privacy.
3) The governent is openly spying on
its citizens without
any cause whatsoever.
4) The government has been creating
vague laws that allow
anyone to be persecuted/prosecuted for any activity
that
some government official doesn't like.
5) Significant increases in
governmental intrusion into
personal and private activites.
6) Flagrant
disregard for the law by goverment officials
in all branches of goverment, at
all levels, with no
meaningful punishment for wrong doing.
7) Serious campaign
to disarm the American citizens.
Sounds vaguely familiar, like something out of
the history
books. I do not believe it worked out too well.

Unfortunately, that book is "Catch-22" by Joseph Heller.

I hope that I would be too ethical to become connected with warrantless
wiretaps, but, if I was, then this would make me nervous. For one thing, the
SCOTUS has just highlighted that currently-secret information as a target. For
another, I'm reading this as a sign of the SCOTUS having a potential interest in
reviewing the issue, if the evidence is produced.
I am still upset over the issue of warrantless surveillance, particularly since
it gives the groups that it targets an ironic victory. Many of those sought out
with the surveillance are mainly upset with us for our open way of life. By
suspending the need to go through the courts to get a warrant, a good chunk of
what makes our way of life what it is disappears.
Again, though, I would be nervous if I were involved, especially with what the
SCOTUS has said. If such evidence surfaces, what happens if the court rules
against the practice? Can the people involved really say that they were 'just
following orders?' Wikileaks has shown a dramatic ability to bring secrets into
the open.
