The Federal Government has already said that It's ok to violate the Constitution if you can't think of an alternative!
The two points of the NSA here:
It's ok for us to violate the U.S. Constitution if we can't think of an alternative
If you don't like it, do our job for us and come up with the solution that we are actually paid to come up with
Critics of the U.S. National Security Agency’s bulk collection of U.S. residents’ telephone records should offer a better way to track terrorists and protect the country against attacks, the agency’s director said Wednesday.
The NSA’s bulk collection of U.S. telephone records is the “least intrusive” way to track suspected terrorists’ communications with people in the U.S., General Keith Alexander said, defending the NSA’s mass data collection and surveillance programs to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.
XO: And as we all know, SCOTUS has been 100% right 100% of the time in the past, so they must be right now. No chance their decision(s) will ever be overturned, since they never have been in the past...right?
I was born in Miami, Florida, the son of an Air Force officer, traveled the world, was saved at age 17, and have served the Lord since. That's me on the left and my lovely wife, Bonnie...the pretty one...on the right.

FOUR PRINCIPLES THAT DEFINE TRUE CONSERVATISM:
1. Respect for The Constitution
2. Respect for Life
3. The Smallest Possible Government
4. Individual Responsibility
This blog is about my philosophy of government, which is a very conservative philosophy.
You are not required to agree with me (although you would be better off if you did).
I am biased toward conservatism, and make no apologies for that.
Freedom means not being controlled by the government, that being the very reason we declared our independence from Great Britain.
Government's job is not to provide things for people, but to provide the opportunity for people to persue the things they want via the vehicles of freedom and responsibility.

Joe, maybe you can make a new year's resolution to admit when you're wrong this year. Or maybe not.
Anyway, Happy New Year to you and Bonnie.
Rottweiler: The feds are power hungry idiots.
Ducky: Can we make it mutual? Probably not.
Name everything that this president has done that the Supreme Court has held to be unconstitutional.
XO: When you stack the deck in your favor, you can expect things to go your way.
Joe - Good idea about getting back to the Constitution in 2014.
It can't get any better than that.
Joe - So there are NO cases where the SCOTUS has ruled any of the Obama Administrations actions or policies to be unconstitutional.
That's what I thought.
