Glenn Greenwald is a lawyer who has lost all interest in making legal arguments. The reason for his indifference should terrify anyone who believes that the law, and not arbitrary decision-making by government officials, should govern a nation. Asked whether NSA mass surveillance is legal under any conceivable interpretation of United States law, Greenwald told ReasonTV:
"I think it’s important to understand, when we talk about what’s legal, is the extent to which our institutions that determine legality have been completely co-opted, either by the other branches of government, or just by the post 9/11 fearmongering and hysteria that have subsumed federal judges as much as they have everybody else – if not more so." There is more of this at the above link.

1:20 - ACCOUNTABILITY. Will anyone be held responsible for the mass violation of Internet privacy?
5:49 - LEGALITY. Is blanket NSA surveillance legal under any possible interpretation of the law?
8:59 - THE INTERCEPT. What's Greenwald's new publication all about?
11:18 - JOURNALISM. Objective vs. subjective; the democratizing power of the Internet; should journalism be backed by billionaires?
22:19 - INSIDERS vs. OUTSIDERS. How the establishment uses shame to maintain the status quo.
27:30 - ADVERSARIAL JOURNALISM. The virtues of excessive criticism.
31:08 - TYRANNY. The changing views of government in light of NSA surveillance.
33:27 - POLITICAL REACTION. Hypocrisy on the Left, mixed reaction on the Right.
36:03 - POLITICAL ACTION. Is politics the best means for reform?
38:12 - REASON MEDIA AWARDS. Reaction to winning the 2014 Lanny Friedlander Prize.
40:16 - THE LIBERTARIAN/PROGRESSIVE COALITION. The new political paradigm.
