48. If you have nothing to hide...
...then you'll have no problem when they install cameras in your home, right?

You'll have no problem with having all of your conversations monitored then.

What they are saying is, who needs privacy? And my answer to that is, I need it and so do we all. It is an inalienable right. It's what keeps the government out of our bedrooms and our homes (usually). The Fourth Amendment requires probable cause for an investigation, and that is indeed how it should be. Without that, we are at the mercy of the government. And no matter how much propaganda tries to tell us that the US government is benign, anyone with even a casual acquaintance with our recent history (i.e. the last 50 years) knows otherwise.

Just ask them: do you really want all of your phone and email messages to be subject to review by a Hillary Clinton administration?

That usually shuts 'em right up.
