RE: NSA eavesdropping program ruled unconstitutional

I hate it when this happens.

I agree with her ruling, but for the wrong reasons.

The Bush Administration has used the excuse of the GWOT to abridge dozens of liberties. The problem with this ruling is its attempt to, yet again, expand this imaginary "right to privacy." The Constitution guarantees no such overarching right. Now we find ourselves having to accept an expansion of this imaginary right, which will find its way into precedence on a whole host of issues, in order to stave off the predations of the "we're at war, so shut up about your freedom" crowd.

Some days you just can't win.
