sorry, but that is a STATUTE. statutes are legislative law, and one cannot abrogate a right secured under common law through rule making or legislation.
one must have reasonable suspicion for a warrant to get the information that is being taken.
Yet the patriot act did exactly that I think some or many times statute law contradicts common law, yet statute law is given priority.
Constitutional law is the law in the U.S. Constitution and state constitutions. It includes such fundamental rights as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of expression etc. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the United States. No law can be enacted that contravenes the provisions of the U.S. Constitution.

Okay, so I've only read the OP and the first page of comments, and what I find most amusing of all is that the Obama supporters aren't even denying the fact that he's a liar, they're defending his right to do so.

I wouldn't say that too fast.... I work in many different parts of my city, and am exposed to many many people on a daily basis. Anymore previous Obamanites (a religion I have coined) either bow their head down in shame or flat out curse Obama when I mention the scandals. And my city has a very high African American Populaion. So I say give these folks credit where it is due. They are not blind, or stupid, their messiah has just let them down, and they are very angry. In fact, I have not heard a single fond word of Obama anywhere but here on ATS. This says a lot right there! The times are changing and I am beginning to think we need a new scandal on the polls.
What is refreshing for me to see, is that African Americans are looking beyond the color of the first black president. Bravo! But you know, I am kind of sad for them right now. A lifelong dream is finally realized, and they got Obama instead. This is so unair.edit on 15-6-2013 by elouina because: (no reason given)

there are MANY rulings that affirm constitutional rights over any legislation. the patriot act is highly illegal.

never ever EVER let anyone tell you that any legislative or rule making body can convert rights into privileges, or abrogate common law. the constitution has provisions that allow certain bodies a limited ability to legislate statutes, but these statutes can be ignored if they violate constitutional rights or court precedents.
Statutes don't really get ignored that easy. Intimidation alone does marvels for the ptb via fines, threat of jail, threat of assasination, the media propaganda, etc. Statutes are not that limited either, in fact just looking at interstate commerce laws will make anyone dizzey. I support what you say in theory, but practice paints a grim picture so far. As for the patriot act it was based on the false flag done on 9-11-2001 that no one has the intestinal fortitude to look into, much less admit. I have done both and get mocked for my beliefs constantly.

William Binney in 2012.
He was found to have strong aptitudes for math, analysis, and code-breaking,[2] and served four years from 1965–1969 at the Army Security Agency before going to the NSA in 1970. Binney was a Russia specialist and worked in the operations side of intelligence, starting as an analyst and ending as Technical Director then becoming a geopolitical world Technical Director. In the 1990s, he co-founded a unit on automating signals intelligence with NSA research chief Dr. John Taggart.[3] Binney's NSA career culminated as Technical Leader for intelligence in 2001. Having expertise in intelligence analysis, traffic analysis, systems analysis, knowledge management, and mathematics (including set theory, number theory, and probability),[4] Binney has been described as one of the best analysts and code breakers in the NSA's history.[5]

with regard to NSA's maintenance of a database of telephonic metadata, "every member of Congress has been briefed" on those programs

intimidation does do marvels, but how many times have you seen someone in court introduce common law that contradicts a statute, and also includes rulings that show common law supersedes statutes?

You don't really have to lie about anything. Sometimes they say "that is classified sir" and change topic.
"Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?" Oregon Republican Sen. Ron Wyden asked Clapper at the March 12 hearing.
"No, sir," Clapper responded.
"It does not?" Wyden pressed.
Clapper recanted and said: "Not wittingly. There are cases where they could, inadvertently perhaps, collect -- but not wittingly."
Wyden, who was already well briefed on PRISM and other intelligence operations, already knew the answer to the question when he asked it. But he also knew that it would have been inappropriate, if not illegal, for Clapper to answer the question honestly since doing so would have required him to publicly reveal highly classified information that ought not to be made available to America’s enemies. Wyden’s purpose wasn’t to shed light but to merely embarrass Clapper and the administration.
The report said: "We believe that Mr. Holder's simple and direct statement had the intended effect -- to leave the members of the Committee with the impression that not only had the potential prosecution of a reporter never been contemplated during Mr. Holder's tenure, but that nothing comparable to the Rosen search warrant had ever been executed by this administration. ... On the basis of Mr. Holder's testimony, there was little doubt in the Members' minds that the legal machinery for such an undertaking had never been started."
