You misunderstand. I was merely pointing out that the existence, or lack thereof, of a court order, was completely beside the point as far as the National Security Agency is concerned.

The only thing stopping anybody from doing anything is the law, and the threat of potentially violent enforcement of that law upon them. It's no different for the Agency.
