Then perhaps you're under the misunderstanding that a judge has signed off on the NSL's. That is not the case, these are warrantless searches.

Go ahead and downvote me, but NSA has a different process than warrants for a reason. There is signoff which satisfies the constitution. Secret court, secret panel. It is secret for a reason and the court is overseen by congress.

However personally I would prefer these cases to be declassified after a reasonalbe amount of time, where it is possible to protect the innocent.

Again you seem to misunderstand: a NSL is not the NSA going to a secret court, it is the FBI not going to any court.
