The news is that in a democratic society such as ours, the government shouldn't have to "not object" to people exercising their legally protected rights.
And, given the fact that many feel that the NSA, in particular, has been trampling those rights, their statement comes off as particularly egregious. In total, some may interpret this as the NSA claiming itself the arbiter of our rights: what it can do to us, and what we can do in response.
