Jeb Bush Spying NSA

Decent Essays
Jeb Bush was praises with Obama over the NSA pass the bill. He strongly defends his administration terrorist surveillance program and said, “I simply don’t understand the nature of the world in which we live”. The judge took the decision against the bill by saying it is our constitutional rights to privacy and free speech. Also it was big accomplishment for Obama place get the bill pass from court about spying NSA. I am totally agreed with judge ruling about surveillance program. The problem isn't surveillance -- it's surveillance without adequate oversight and targeting. National security could be preserved by a program, which also respects our civil rights.

    In The United States of America the National Security Agency has been working for ages to assure that the country is safe, but recently it has become a rising concern that they have overstepped their boundaries of American citizen’s privacy by operating surveillance technology all around the country and storing data form every phone call of citizens. With the American Citizens’ privacy at stake, each branch of government took its stand against the matter. The Judicial Branch has to come up with a legal compromise; the Legislative Branch and Congress are working to make surveillance laws that would better please its citizens, and the Executive Branch and the president have agreed to come up with an alternative to Section 215 of The Patriot Act. The Supreme Court has to establish a legal compromise to the surveillance of the American citizens considering it was said that what the National Security Agency/Central Security was doing went against Section 215 of the Patriot Act.…

    Having surveillance means that the government has the right to watch and record basically everything people do. The government put video cameras up in schools, buildings, stoplights, and satellites covering virtually everywhere. According to Alex Sinha (2013) NSA, the National Security Agency, started collecting as much information and data as possible from permanent residence in the United States in hopes of reducing the odds of another terrorist attack (p. 862). In 2013, Sinah also claimed in the early 1960s, NSA began keeping a “watch list” which was a list of American citizens who were traveling to Cuba and were questionable to pose a danger to the President (p.864). Sinha (2013) then goes on to state in 1967 the watch list turned into a systematic attempt to track those Americans who were questioned to be involved in a civil disturbance.…

    An article titled, “Electronic Surveillance,” written by Cornell University states, “Obtaining a warrant for electronic surveillance requires showing probable cause, describing in particularity the conversation to be intercepted, providing a specific time period for the interception of the communications device, and noticing the property owner unless law enforcement can show exigent circumstances. As with ordinary searches and seizures, exigent circumstances may serve as grounds for law enforcement to dispense with first obtaining a warrant. If law enforcement encounters a situation threatening a person's life, a conspiracy threatening the national security, or a conspiracy suggesting organized crime, then law enforcement may proceed without first acquiring a warrant.” The U.S. has clearly been using surveillance technology unconstitutionally.…

    Forward: When Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA was spying on us in 2012, I expected people to be outraged. I expected a massive public backlash that would lead to reform.

I’ve talked to people about surveillance before, and many of them were unaware of key details about it.…
