alt Hacker NewsI'm starting to think there should be a constitutional amendment specifying a right to privacy because the last few decades have shown they'll just keep pushing the boundaries otherwise.

It's pretty useless. A (US) constitutional amendment would only protect Americans from US institutions.
Us foreigners still have to deal with Americans spying on us. (And other countries spying on us.) And Americans still have to deal with non-American organisations spying on them.

The chances of a constitutional amendment, let alone one dedicated to specifically limiting the powers of law enforcement, is, and I'll go on a limb and say I'm correct in this absolute statement, 0.
There is zero chance of any amount of government in these United States cooperating in any fashion large enough to change the actual Constitution. Zero.
