RE: Government Is Not Your Friend: CIA Hacking Tools Released

in #news8 years ago (edited)

The Interstate Commerce clause and the Treaty clause in the constitution make all so called limits and enumerated powers laughable. Most federal agencies owe their very existence to those two clauses, which have been stretched and abused to justify anything the federal government decides it wants to do. If a rapist breaks into your home and says “It’s okay because I’m a limited rapist, and here is your sacred paper to protect you. See all the things I’m not allowed to do to you while I rape you?”…if he gives you that list of limitations and you worship that list with gratitude instead of objecting to the entire intrusion including the list, something is deeply wrong. If he repeatedly disregards most of the limitations he swore to abide by while he violates you, and you continue to believe in the sanctity and power of the list…believing it can somehow keep you safe from future violations, after it has been clearly demonstrated to be irrelevant, something is even more wrong.
