Following The Fourth Amendment Would Help Make America Great Againby Tyler Durden, Nov 30, 2016 2:00 AM Submitted by Kelli Sladick via Tenth Amendment Center, During the last eight years, the Obama administration failed to live up to its promise reverse the Bush era’s mass surveillance of American citizens. In fact, it was expanded and justified. If you were silent, the sweeping power controlled by the president may not be on your radar for the right reasons. While there is a deep fear resonating, at least half looked the other way when “their guy” held the powers of the presidency. So let’s put aside the distractions roaring through the media, and let’s walk down memory lane. www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-29/following-fourth-amendment-would-help-make-america-great-again

Sadly I believe President elect Trump will only strengthen the surveillance super state in the name of his fight against terrorism. Benjamin Franklin would be appalled at the essential liberties that have been given up in the name of safety.

Yup, some of the sheep will may bray and stomp their little feet around the barnyard, then they'll put their face back to the ground and go right back to grazing.

If Republicans wanted to stop it, they could've... They Didn't. FBI to gain expanded hacking powers as Senate effort to block failsBy Dustin Volz, Reuters, November 30, 2016 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A last-ditch effort in the Senate to block or delay rule changes that would expand the U.S. government's hacking powers failed Wednesday, despite concerns the changes would jeopardize the privacy rights of innocent Americans and risk possible abuse by the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump. Democratic Senator Ron Wyden attempted three times to delay the changes, which will take effect on Thursday and allow U.S. judges will be able to issue search warrants that give the FBI the authority to remotely access computers in any jurisdiction, potentially even overseas. His efforts were blocked by Senator John Cornyn of Texas, the Senate's second-ranking Republican. The changes will allow judges to issue warrants in cases when a suspect uses anonymizing technology to conceal the location of his or her computer or for an investigation into a network of hacked or infected computers, such as a botnet. Magistrate judges can currently only order searches within the jurisdiction of their court, which is typically limited to a few counties. www.yahoo.com/news/fbi-gain-expanded-hacking-powers-senate-effort-block-180909417--finance.html
