Twitter is 'playing the game' in court. The only game in town. The US
government could and would shut twitter down just as fast as KimDOTCom's
first Mega went down, and the twitter people know it.

If you think the US government cares about the potential bad publicity
or other 'fallout' from an act that rash "In the name of national
security'... You're wrong. They might not drone strike twitter hq, but
YOU CAN BET you'd be seeing twitter execs doing the perp walk into a
federal detention facility or taking refuge in an embassy like Assange.
But they aren't that smart-on-their-feet, nor do they have friends in
the low places needed to 'evacuate' them so it would be the perp walk.

Ps. Re "/written plain as day in the US Constitution/"

The US government wipes it's ass with American's constitutional rights.
Always has.
