I just read the 25 page proposed bill and I am not seeing any place where the government is being authorized to access contents of private E-mail without a warrant.

http://www.leahy.senate.gov/imo/medi...ndmentsAct.pdf

Could someone please cite the page and line number where this proposed bill authorizes the government to read your E-mail without a warrant?

I think that before any logical discussion can ensue (like that would happen here on GT) people should know what the bill actually says and not just rely on what a news commentator says about the bill.

I could be wrong, I might have missed it. But that's why such proposed bills have page and line numbers so that clear citations can be made concerning it.
