The fact that this gaping loophole has been allowed to fester is shameful. I truly wish law enforcement cared about due process.

It does seem like a clear violation of the 4th amendment.

Wow. I really don’t want the government collecting all kinds of information on me. But I also don’t want corporations collecting all kinds of data on me. Can we address that next?

I don’t think I’ve been excited for a new law in a long time. Didn’t really think I could be… it’s shameful this has gone on for so long and I’m hopeful our congress-critters can get it done.
