25. My point is that if we citizens dont care that the government is walking on our rights

then it really doesnt matter if they "dont have a right to do it." The American people have looked the other way while our government violates the Constitution via the Patriot Act, FISA spying, and indefinite detention. No uproar when Bush did it and then when Pres Obama gets elected, no remedy.
