“The pipe dream of many of those who are complaining about the NSA’s massive surveillance scheme is that the NSA can be ‘reined in’ by some type of congressional legislation. They just don’t get it. As long as the NSA exists, it’s going to do whatever it needs to do to protect ‘national security,’ even if that means breaking the law. After all, protecting ‘national security’ is paramount. It is everything. Does anyone honestly believe that the NSA is going to let the country go down if breaking the law enables the NSA to save it? Haven’t these people ever heard the old adage, ‘The Constitution is not a suicide pact’?”
