Will we ever learn how our privacy rights are being or have been violated?

Posted by michel 07/07/2008 12:00 AM PDT

Madame Speaker:

The principal reasons that the NetRoots have fought so hard against telecom immunity in the FISA update legistation is that (a) we want to know how egregiously the government and its private sector partners have violated our Fourth Amendment rights and (b) we want to see those responsible for crimes against the Constitution held accountable. Do you foresee this ever happening? If so how? If not, how can you claim to be defending and upholding the Constitution?

I believe that Clinton's impeachment was for lying under oath, not for the affair per se.

I would remove the "how would such a prosecution work?" follow-on question. Perhaps modify the question itself to a more inclusive "would you support investigation into criminal activity after they are out of office by either Congress, the DOJ or both?"
