Barack Obama
Reports indicate the Obama Administration is on the hot seat not
just in America but all over the world, as governments demand answers
about the NSA's illegal spy program dubbed PRISM, as exposed by former contractor
Edward Snowden. A number of high profile world leaders are concerned
about the program, as is the U.S. Congress on a domestic level, as
PRISM has been engaging in wholesale spying against Americans and foreigners
alike.
The U.S. Constitution forbids the government to spy on Americans.
However, that's exactly what PRISM has been doing - via snooping in, recording
and collecting internet and phone communications. Despite vocal
opposition to PRISM, President Barack Obama has defiantly stated it
will continue. This really is a sad development, but one I repeatedly
warned of beginning in 2006 on the Judiciary Report's sister site the
Sound Off Column. The Constitution is a great document and it needs to
be followed. What's happening is a travesty.
