There is a real question whether the conduct that Snowden exposed was unconstitutional. Which means that there is a real question whether that conduct was illegal.

Everything that is unconstitutional is illegal.

The Constitution is the supreme Law of the Land. All other purported laws necessarily bow before it.
Reason is valuable only when it performs against the wordless physical background of the universe.

Sorry; my bad. You're exactly correct.
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.
