The FISA court and the NSA have NO ONE to check them.

The NSA is effectively above the law. They can spy on lawmakers, the press, environmentalists, anybody.. Without any court order or oversight.

So, are you are comfortable with the NSA reading your email? How about those who they share it with? They share information with the EU, the FBI, the IRS, Homeland Security and various other national and international "partners".

You and I may have nothing to hide, its true. However, we depend on those that do such as lawmakers, activists and journalists. WIthout them, we no longer have a free society and are effectively living in a police state.
