 Make no mistake, these programs are illegal. They're illegal under the Fourth Amendment, which we celebrate here today, and they are propped up only by outrageous and dishonest readings of laws that violate Congress's intentions. National Intelligence was asked about these programs on the floor of Congress. He flat-out lied about them. The Parliament is claiming to act in our name, but it refuses even basic accountability for its actions. Constrict! What are the constraints of Congress to hide programs that you believe are legal? To protect us. But there comes a time when we have to step in and protect it. We're using like a suggestion that they're free to ignore. Today, we stand up and we let them know that is unacceptable. These agencies establish the infrastructure for current key to authoritarianism, titled to dignity and privacy. It's our duty as Americans, protecting those rights, not just for ourselves, but for everybody who follows in our steps. No more full collection of Americans' communication records and no more open access to the backbone of the Internet.
