The statement that warrantless surveillance of Americans&#8217; phone-call data began in the 1990s \u2014 before the September 11, 2001 attacks and before the Bush presidency \u2014 means that the limits of the Fourth Amendment were breached on a widespread basis even earlier than previously documented.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New American: DEA Began Warrantless Surveillance in 1990s! by Thomas R.
