Dick Cheney was right when he said Obama was a charlatan.

You would rather they hadn't caught the bank robbers?
That's poor logic. For one, it presumes there was no other way to
catch them and it further presumes the government's position is the
only procedural mechanism for accomplishing it.
As a general principle the ends do not justify the means and, to wit,
routine warrantless searches of all homes, say once a week, would
catch a lot of criminals too but would you support that idea? No?
You'd rather not catch crooks?
If the government's position really is as stated, that "any record
held by a third party about us, no matter how invasively collected, is
not protected by the Fourth Amendment" is accurate then the 4'th
amendment is effectively eviscerated since, in this day and age,
virtually everything you do shows up in some 'third party record'
somewhere.
If they ever make Dimbulb have a competency hearing, his record on
Usenet would have him committed for life.
And no warrant needed to gather the information either because Usenet
really does fit the notion of 'public'.
You really do not know just how deep in the dark you are.
