Big Brother is listening...

CNN calls it "eavesdropping." Is it eavesdropping or is it spying? The American government has checks and balances. Three branches, judicial, legislative, and executive. One is out of control, guess which? The executive branch is taking over, that's what we call it when lawmakers merely argue and discuss non-binding propositions instead of passing legislation, and begin to shift judicial power back to the executive branch too.

We don't hear a lot about the judicial branch, from a government perspective. We hear about the president, we hear about congress... and sometimes we hear about judges but it always seems so minor. When it comes to surveillance of citizenry, however, I think it's a law enforcement issue which should, naturally, fall under the judicial branch. Which makes it very unfortunate to see Congress taking power from the courts and checks and balance system, and bestowing it on the over-pompous president and his "administration."

In principle, it's wrong. Civil rights are slipping through our fingers...
