But can you imagine, I want every American to imagine how their lives would change and how their conversations would change if they thought that every phone call they made was being monitored? Just imagine the chilling effect that that would have on every word you say, on your very thought process. You have to be able to put yourself in that situation to understand what is at stake when we talk about this issue. This is not just about nasty people trying to do people wrong. This is about every American having their very being altered by the threat that they are being listened to.
