"Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, 
papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, 
shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable 
cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing 
the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

I don't see anything regarding citizen or non citizen. I do see that 
a warrant is required and it has to specify what the search is for. 
From what I've read on the news that has not happened.

I guess if 'they' want to ignore the basic rules of our nation they 
can do it because people allow them to, some even applaud that 
action. It's sad to watch the nation toss away the Constitution with 
some of the people happy to see it happen with the thought of 
"security" at the front of their mind.

If the President did widespread wiretapping on US citizens without a 
warrant he broke the law, he violated the 4th amendment of the United 
States Constitution.
He did it with your permission Ray, you even cheered him on with a 
school yard cheer. You just gave up the Constitution Ray.


I have to go to bed, hope the new place is working out well for you Ray!
