found out about NSA monitoring U.S. citizens'
overseas telephone calls without a warrant: they approved the loss
of our Fourth Amendment rights.

Giving Presidential Directives the same force of law as the Constitution.

Congress has lost it too.

*    The New York Times, undated
*    
*    The House is not expected to vote on the search-and-seizure bill until
*    at least Wednesday. But tonight the Republicans defeated a Democratic
*    amendment that SIMPLY REITERATED THE WORDS OF THE FOURTH AMENDMENT OF
*    THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.
*    
*    The vote was 303 to 121.
*    
*    The Democrats were trying to portray the Republicans as wanting to
*    eliminate the constitutional protection against unlawful searches.
*    
*    Indeed, they cornered the Republicans into saying that the measure
*    containing the Fourth Amendment would gut the seizure bill.

Just what is it going to take to restore the U.S. Constitution?

Unlimited unregulated cryptography legislation is a beginning baby-step.

Otherwise it might take another civil war. The NSA will not let go quietly.

Sound over-the-top? Wait until you understand
