1) Your stance on the topic of debate and a 1-sentence summary explanation
The executive branch should be allowed to access peoples technological communications in order to be aware of certain national security threats and to protect the American people before terrorist attacks occur. This information is not allowed to be used for any other purpose other than to protect from terrorism and therefore should impose no hindrances to the people of the united states.
2) A short history and background information surrounding the case
There has been a back and fourth disagreement between this "spying" being considered a violation of privacy and an act to promote common good and safety of the people. In its first hearing, it was ruled that this violated both the fourth amendment and the first amendment. Yet in 2008 the FISA amendment act was passed allowing even more ability for NSA to overhear phone conversations and see web documents.
3) List of evidence and research supporting your claim, using a legitimate line of reasoning (no emotions)
A law that overrides the FISA is that of which the constitution promotes, which says that the president has overall control and rule over our country.
