I'm sorry, I don't buy that the government should be recognized as having an absolute right to interpose itself in the middle of any two party conversation. Not even by warrant.

Justice systems are not, nor should be all-powerful, and that's the direction I see pop up more and more often to the point I'm becoming seriously concerned that rhetoric is sliding in a direction where liberty and freedom is sacrificed on the altar 9f public safety.

There is no point being free in a world where you are constantly micromanaged in the interests of maintaining the stability of the state and public, especially when those driving that edifice almost inevitably end up not aligning with the public they putatively serve, and consider anything less than half of the population an acceptable sacrifice to the whims of a slim majority.
