Comment on Obama and the N.S.A.: Why He Can't Be Trustedparent

Comments

It's not just the content, it's the metadata. Instant and total awareness of implied content thru comprehensive data mining goes far beyond what the Founding Fathers could imagine.

I know that it's not just the content.

Originalists don't require that the 'Founding Fathers' have known the future: Originalists allow assault rifles to be protected under the 2nd. They allow, presumably, emails and internet newspapers to have full 1st protections.

Thus my question is... have any originalists weighed in on this particular subject?
