There are a few exceptions to this rule, but mostly, senators, representatives, justices and law enforcement push against the right of private citizens to be free from government prying and spying as much as they can. Mostly, they believe leakers of information, from Chelsea Manning to Edward Snowden \u2014 and before that, Daniel Ellsberg \u2014 are traitors, who should have had loyalty to the government instead of the American people.<\/p>\n<p>President-elect Donald Trump has not done much yet. But if his mangled rhetoric is anything to go on, he will be no exception to this rule. Furthermore, what little Trump has said about the Fourth Amendment, as well as many of his Cabinet appointments, suggests that he may well be worse than the status quo on this important issues.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rare: Donald Trump has no interest in the Fourth Amendment by Lucy Steigerwald:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25204","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25204","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=25204"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25204\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25213,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25204\/revisions\/25213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=25204"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=25204"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/fourthamendment.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=25204"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
