Don't know how we had freedom before that since Snowden brought out what was already out there. But...pukes will be pukes.

Obviously, you are not (and have not been) paying attention.

Take the Fourth Amendment, for example. We began to lose that during the Reagan years, when it was ruled that students did not have the right to be secure in their papers and effects.

And it has been down hill ever since.
