Thomas Massie:

Our government has built an elaborate but Constitutionally unsound framework for violating your natural rights.

As we have seen with the Twitter files, they boldly work in close cooperation with private actors who aren’t subject to the Constitutional restrictions imposed on government by our Founders.

But they also claim “foreign influence” and “national security” so they can target US citizens with agencies of the government (under the military chain of command) whose missions are ostensibly directed at foreign actors who have no Constitutional rights.

Elected lawmakers be damned, legions of government lawyers create shaky legal scaffolding and ad hoc doctrine to indemnify the actors within our government who eagerly exploit these loopholes.

In this way, government actors can claim everything they do is legal. The problem is much of it is unconstitutional.

Congress must take great care to ensure that none of what we loosely authorize and pay for is unconstitutional, even if it has otherwise been deemed legal.
