If a person robs a bank because he believes the bank if miss using the peoples money, would that person be considered a hero or a bank robber? I would say a bank robber & the last I heard robbing a bank was a crime and criminals are generally prosecuted when caught.
If Snowden were a hero and believed what he was doing was for the benefit of the nation, he would turn himself in and plead his case before the court. He's not only a traitor but he's also a coward.

Very appropriate. Unfortunately you have to use two syllable words for Bob to understand.

If a person takes someone's else's money and gives it to someone else because they believe the person they took it from doesn't deserve it are they a hero or a robber?

Screw the NSA.

Let's not fall asleep at the wheel, but let's not exaggerate the peril.

Thanks to the information that Mr. Edward Snowden released the US Supreme Court will finally be forced to decide on the constitutionality of the NSA’s actions. Before - we were caught in circular logic that precluded a Supreme Court ruling because no one could prove that top secret surveillance programs like PRISM even existed.

Good logic.

Now will the Chief Justice excuse himself because he appointed the judges to the FISA court?

The bill if rights supersedes, all other oaths, as a US citizen first and foremost.

Precedence has been set. I want to know where you live. It shouldn't be hard to find that out, now.
