Lawmakers are considering proposed legislation this week that would grant the FBI that uninhibited access. Critics, including Google and Facebook, have argued such changes would be a violation of Americans’ privacy. But, in Napolitano’s view, elected officials will argue under the “facade” that it is necessary for the population’s safety.
Ultimately, he concluded Congress will pass the legislation.
“This law will pass because the Congress doesn’t give a damn about whether it’s unconstitutional,” Napolitano charged. “[T]he American people should wake up. … This is a major step toward a police state.”

Part of the obama plan on the way out of office.
Socialism at its best.
Sieg heil the March forward proceeds!! we all know the Rainbow Warriors are in a war and we are being attacked daily! you better pray it's probably only thing that's going to help us these days. As the pace towards imposing the mark increases.
If they could read our minds, they'd do it and get permission to do it... or do it without permission.
"...a major step toward a police state."
I guess the Judge missed the Patriot Act, and the NDAA.
And the NSA recording every electronic communication made in the USA.
He must have forgotten all about "Sting Ray". And warrant-less searches.
Secret prisons in America for AMERICAN CITIZENS.
Maybe he missed the Detroit police taking SUSPECTS (!?) to a secret facility for torture and interrogation, all the time denying the existence of the place. Innocent? Maybe in the first few hours. After that, you'd confess to a bank robbery that happened before you were born.
This country is being watched, listened to, monitored, tracked, photographed, and observed more than any country on Earth. China and North Korea WISH they could do the things we do.....
I like Napolitano. He just seems a little behind the times...
The rest of you? Keep cheering!
(I know you aren't doing anything wrong. Yet.)
