From virtually any previous administration, such a move would be of little consequence. However, as the current trend seems rather orwellian at its core there is far more scrutiny placed on American Privacy issues in general. In my opinion this was a bad move on the Presidents part, and he likely knew it....thus the signing statement in the dead of night. I am left to wonder what actions have been taken that we Don't know about, and saddened that I actually worry about it at all. It does not say much for my Government that I can't trust them anymore.
