i don't think there's any question this supreme court will come down on the side of both the bush and obama admin's that a retrospective search of phone records is constitutional.
the argument that no warrant is required to track who you might talk to tomorrow or where you were when you spoke to them is something else.
i'll make the same argument i made when the bush admin ignored fisa courts and tapped into all internet traffic without warrant.
you need to be comfortable not just that you trust the people making the decision today but that you trust whatever admin is in power 20 years from now.
and like randall i'm not concerned about anyone listening to my conversations.
but i do worry about someone that thinks they need to.
