[Assam] C-da legal info: NSA vs US arresting w/o warrant

[Chan Mahanta]

I am glad you do.

Question however is WHAT have you learnt from what you know?

 From what  I see and hear in this forum, is that you learnt NOTHING. 
All you ( that includes a number of you)  can cite when challenged is 
that the USA does that too.  And because USA does that, it is quite 
acceptable to you, even though you spare no efforts to denounce that?

Funny thing however, is that even though the USA does some of these 
things, it has far superior checks and balances that are constantly 
evolving, thanks to its intelligentsia's participation and interest 
in shaping its governance, instead of  citing somebody else's 
examples mindlessly.

That is the difference.
