Seriously disgusting and another proof that he's just like Bush... The constitution? A goddamn piece of paper!

Justice Dept. to Congress: Don’t Saddle 4th Amendment on Us

The Obama administration is urging Congress not to adopt legislation that would impose constitutional safeguards on Americans’ e-mail stored in the cloud.

As the law stands now, the authorities may obtain cloud e-mail without a warrant if it is older than 180 days, thanks to the Electronic Communications Privacy Act adopted in 1986. At that time, e-mail left on a third-party server for six months was considered to be abandoned, and thus enjoyed less privacy protection. However, the law demands warrants for the authorities to seize e-mail from a person’s hard drive.

A coalition of internet service providers and other groups, known as Digital Due Process, has lobbied for an update to the law to treat both cloud- and home-stored e-mail the same, and thus require a probable-cause warrant for access. The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on that topic Tuesday.

The companies — including Google, AOL and AT&T — maintain that the law should be changed to reflect that consumers increasingly access their e-mail on servers, instead of downloading it to their hard drives, as a matter of course.


Yeah what we totally need is a government that can do ANYTHING THEY WANT... without any obstacle. Freaking fascists.

Amazing how this pops right after the budget boondoogle. Did the staff at the white house get they're timing wrong? I don't know about you folks, but if its my e-mail, under my account, and I'm a registered user with the provider, then I would want someone to show cause you know? it's the information age for cryin out loud! Make the laws reflect the technology and the way the people use it, not trim the ole constitution again for the Feds benefit! These people never ever cease to amaze us do they ? give us a BREAK will ya!
