2) Is it acceptable for the NSA to spy on Americans to stop terrorism?
A) Yes, acceptable.
B) No, not acceptable.
2. Yes as long as they have probable cause that a US citizen(s) is part of or is plotting an attack and have secured a warrant for the surveillance.
Let's not equivocate. The program in question is blanket surveillance of all emails, phone calls, etc... There's no evidence that the people being spied on are plotting an attack. It's a 'fishing expedition'. We're talking about secret monitoring of our private communications to "keep an eye" on us. Is THAT acceptable?
Yes.
