Imagine if you lefties had supported the Constitution all along. This would never have been an issue.

If you only see Left and Right then you miss the bigger picture right in front of you.

What is going on? Has the US become "big brother"? They are watching everybody it seems...

Secretary of State John F. Kerry had barely landed in France on Monday when the newspaper Le Monde disclosed what it said was the mass surveillance of French citizens, as well as spying on French diplomats. Furious, the French summoned the United States ambassador, Charles H. Rivkin, and President François Hollande expressed “extreme reprobation” for the reported collection of 70 million phone calls in 30 days late last year and into January.

BERLIN — The diplomatic fallout from the documents harvested by the former N.S.A. contractor Edward J. Snowden intensified on Wednesday, with one of the United States’ closest allies, Germany, announcing that its leader had angrily called President Obama seeking reassurance that her cellphone was not the target of an American intelligence tap.

So what? Following the Constitution is the law. It doesn't matter if some want it violated.

I wish I could join you but I have this work thing. This should not be a right/left issue it should be a American issue to reign in our gvt.

What is sad is that many of the comments under that video are from morons who keep saying, "Who cares?"

Idiots.
