#42Note that they've forbidden judicial review. The disclosure merely has to be promised by Trump's subordinates that it doesn't violate your constitutional rights and the Judicial Branch is banned from reviewing it? Unconstitutional attempt to remove the Judicial branch from reviewing illegal acts of Congress and illegal acts by the Executive branch and thus an illegal law. Are the "executive agreements" actually treat…
You can't forbid judicial review. The supreme court has the ultimate power.
The constitutional powers of the Supreme Court are widely known to be somewhat limited. Congress can and has repeatedly limited the supreme court's and lower courts' ability to review laws. Under the US constitution, "In all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls, and those in which a state shall be party, the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction" and "In all other Cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make."
It is generally accepted that Congress could theoretically prevent the Supreme Court from hearing all other cases, so long as a different court could hear the case so that there is judicial review. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurisdiction_stripping

#43never store your data on cloud. lesson learnt from this.
Or at least, encrypt it (locally and securely) first.

#44I'm always skeptical of governments who want to restrict rights/freedoms of all in the name of safety from the few. Sounds more like a power grab by the power hungry.
