Judge Leons assumptions are very conservative. If the national security state targets any effective political activist, they would reap far more than 100 numbers on both the first and second hops -- probably enough to effectively map the bulk of the political activity among, say, peace groups. A third hop would round up multiples of millions, including the barely committed and folks with no interest in politics of any kind. One court order + one suspect number + three hops = everybody remotely involved in anti-war activity. It turns out that the NSA has for years been allowed to search up to three hops away from the suspect phone. They have undoubtedly already mapped every potentially left-leaning or ethnically suspect (Black) U.S. human network, having assembled millions of names and numbers. If George Bush or any Republican were president, leftists of all stripes would realize the clock is ticking -- that they must radically alter the direction of the U.S. state, or be interned by it. However, the smooth fascist, Barak Obama, is in charge, and there is little sense of urgency on the Left. Which is another reason that we say Obama is the more effective evil.
