Supreme Court OKs Govt. Electronic Spying in US; Kills Bill of Rights, Sets Up a Surveillance Nation

The conversion of the United States into a type of "prison" with the inmates under the constant surveillance of the government "jailers" is progressing rapidly -- thanks to the help of the U.S. Supreme Court -- the New American website reports today (February 27, 2013).

By a 5-4 decision yesterday, the high court rejected a challenge to the constitutionality of government wiretaps and monitoring of citizens' e-mails, telephone calls, and electronic messages. Those targeted by the government for the surveillance are not suspected of committing any crimes, so searching their communications is in fact a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment.

The Fourth Amendment protects "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures..."

Due primarily to the fear of terrorism in the United States of Muslims (Islamophobia) that resulted from the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the Fourth Amendment had been temporarily repealed by the U.S. Congress, and Presidents Bush and Obama signed off on it. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court has joined the crew in permanently demolishing the U.S. Bill of Rights and constructing a despotic surveillance police state -- one similar to the former Soviet Union and present-day China --  on top of the rubble.
