The media is violating the Constitution by publishing Clinton's--or anyone else's--illegally hacked emails.

"For example, the first amendment allows the privacy of beliefs, the third amendment protects privacy of the home against any demands to be used to house soldiers, the fourth amendment protects the privacy of a person and possessions from unreasonable searches, and the 5th Amendment gives privacy of personal information through preventing self-incrimination.

"Furthermore, the 9th Amendment says that the enumeration of certain rights as found in the Bill of Rights cannot deny other rights of the people. While this is a vague statement, court precedent has said that the 9th amendment is a way to justify looking at the Bill of Rights as a way to protect the right to privacy in a specific way not given in the first 8 amendments."

Hacking and then publishing the results by the media violates the 4th Amendment as an unreasonable search and seizure, as well as the 5th Amendment that gives privacy of personal information through preventing of self-incrimination.

It seems rather odd and very troubling to me that no one, Left or Right, even questioned the right of the press to violate privacy in this way. Have we become so scared or numb or cynical that such an outrageous invasion of privacy goes unnoticed? The Patriot Act and its indiscriminate citizen spying for our "protection" is a stake in the heart of this Republic. IT MUST GO! The evidence of how it has changed our basic perception of freedom, fundamental to maintaining this country's ideals of liberty, is clear in not a single voice objecting to the publication by the media of Hillary's, or any person's, private communications.

Thank you for the Moron alert. Privacy is privacy. Illegally gained information, of a public or private person, is against the Constitution. I am sure you are one of those people that claim to be a patriot and loyal to our founding documents. Please read them. I would not vote for Hillary with your vote. I am not making a case to protect Hillary from exposure over her irresponsible use of a home server for classified documents; she should go to jail. I am making a case for you and every citizen. We are so inured over violations of privacy that we fail to see this blatant abuse by the media in publishing PRIVATE MESSAGES. Trump had a bitter taste of that recently. "In private" used to be so sacred that the mere hint of impropriety would cause a tsunami of reaction; not a ripple with Hillary.

Hillary is the victim now and many may throw parties in celebration at the illegal disclosures, even elaborate fireworks, but you are next. Or maybe you over there.

Consider for a moment why media.published.

Much of.these document dumps were legally obtained through the FOIA. Of those that were not, the hacker(s) may have sent them to the media. How else would the media have acquired them if it was not from media hacks?

So, if the dumps were sent to the media, the media would then be in a position to publish or not. If they chose to not.publish, the hacker(s) could.have dumped them on the net along with documentation showing they had been.previously sent to media, and media sat on them to protect Hillary. That could destroy media's credibility which could end up damaging Hillary worse than the documents themselves because it could render further Trump bashing null and further Hillary support to become a negative.

First of all, my thread has nothing whatsoever to do with Hillary, Secondly, only because it is pertinent to the point I am trying to make, personal emails were also exposed in her email revelations. Hate Hillary, fine. Wish her the worse, fine. Put her in jail, fine. But what I am saying is not about Hillary but our right--OUR RIGHT--to privacy. Stop being defined in thought and action to a particular ideology.

Hillary's emails was on a private server, used both (foolishly) for government and personal stuff.
