26:25Now PlayingJim Bovard discusses the way the American surveillance state has slowly dismantled the fourth amendment, especially thanks to the FISA courts and the way they've enabled legal loopholes for spying on nearly any American citizen.

All Americans should be able to agree that the intelligence apparatus is an obstacle to liberty and flourishing in this country.
