It will be interesting when this reaches the Supremes. Scalia (self-described "defender" of the Founder Father's intentions) thinks warrant-less wiretaps are ok. Appeals Court Judge Richard Leon said the domestic snooping today is "Orwellian" and Madison would be "aghast".
If Scalia (and maybe others on the Supremes) think it is ok, then he would have to argue that Madison (and other Founding Fathers) would have wanted King George (if he had access to today's technology pre-1776) to use the those means to stop the American Revolution before it ever began. To paraphrase Ben Franklin, they would have been hanged separately, because they would have been electronically been identified to have been associated together. (Actually, it is a bit disconcerting to think of Franklin, Madison, Jefferson, Washington, etc, etc being water-boarded for their stand against The Crown).
Not sure how Scalia and others would justify an argument like that, but it would be interesting to watch the debate.

The White House recently assigned a panel to review their own domestic spying tactics after public outrage over the NSAâs mass data collection. Their results pretty much tell us what we already know: the NSAâs spying in no way makes Americans safer.
from NBC News:
âIt was, âHuh, hello? What are we doing here?ââ said Geoffrey Stone, a University of Chicago law professor, in an interview with NBC News. âThe results were very thin.â
While Stone said the mass collection of telephone call records was a âlogical programâ from the NSAâs perspective, one question the White House panel was seeking to answer was whether it had actually stopped âany [terror attacks] that might have been really big.â
âWe found none,â said Stone....
