What actual wrongdoing did Snowden blow the whistle on? The collection of phone metadata was ruled unconstitutional, but that was after the fact.


In general, violations of your constitutional rights won't be ruled on before they happen. That doesn't mean violating your constitutional rights isn't wrongdoing.
