The American Civil Liberties Union has criticized the provision, saying it violates the First Amendment rights of U.S. citizens.”

The first Admendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

I do not see how the two are related. How is eavesdroppping by law enforcement against the first admendment?

I would agree that this is bad, but you would have to look at a different source, like the fourth admendment.

If someone is enough of a threat to justify a legitimate warrant, what scenario can you envision where it would be legitimate to eavesdrop on one of his devices, but not the others?
