Your job is to create an informative pamphlet that contains the following:

1) Your stance on the topic of debate and a 1-sentence summary explanation
I think that is okay for the Government to collect all data and look ONLY for keywords that suggest terrorism in order to prevent future acts of Terrorism.
2) A short history and background information surrounding the case

There has been alot of controversy back and forth about this case throughout history. ACLU debates that the government should have to obtain a warrent in order to obtain any information, and that NA violates your personal rights. NSA argues this is an executive power, and national security over rides personal lives.

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.
