Original Message
A Supreme Court justice on Tuesday expressed major concerns that the government would engage in round-the-clock surveillance reminiscent of the totalitarian world of the George Orwell novel 1984, if the Court ruled in the government's favor.
Justice Stephen Breyer questioned what a democratic society would look like if people believed the government was tracking them for days at a time.
"If you win this case, then there is nothing to prevent the police or the government from monitoring 24 hours a day the public movement of every citizen of the United States.”
