> American companies working against national security will be held accountable

.. are you sure about that? The argument is often made that the First Amendment (and the second amendment!) provide Americans (and not foreign nationals or companies operating within America) with a constitutional right to work against American national security.

Haha not at all. The constitution is esentially suspended the moment national security is invoked. It is still in effect but it is interpreted such that the authors of the rights and amendments clearly implied that those rights only apply i n times of peace which is why they can kill a US citizen with a drone strike while unarmed and posing no immediate threat with no due process or consequences. It's the joker card for the government basically.
