Not sure what this is trying to prove, but it has been ruled long ago that metadata (the phonecall records your carrier generates on your behalf while you voluntarily use their service), which the NSA is collecting have never belonged to you and are legally available to be collected by a 3rd party.

That ruling applied to a very different situation than anything under discussion here. For one thing, the metadata was collected for only one subject, not 250 million at once.

The misinterpreted quotes from the Constitution above are trying to state that metadata that ATT generates about your call history somehow belongs to you and is not available to be collected by a 3rd party. This is incorrect.
