      Well, okay, but we’re gonna create our own set of secret judges so nobody can keep an eye on what we’re doing. This is about us being able to watch you, not the other way around. --the intelligence agencies

      • And we won’t actually LOOK at anything, with our eyes, until we need to but we will collect EVERYTHING on EVERYONE…ALL THE TIME. But since we aren’t “looking” it’s not spying. - also intelligence agencies
