I do find it fascinating that release of my phone records would be protected speech on Verizon's part [and thus protected by the First Amendment], but my phone conversations apparently don't enjoy the same Constitutional protection by the Fourth Amendment. Guess I'll be looking for a new phone company once my Verizon contract is up.
