"The proposed legislation requires state law enforcement agencies to get a warrant for all e-mails regardless of the age of the e-mail."

How is it possible that this is not the case everywhere in the USA. An email does not somehow become less private only because it is older. This is the sort of loop hole that politician and law enforcement weasels create to undermine the privacy of communication.

I am generally fine with wire-tapping if (and only if) a warrant was obtained first. If that does not happen there is no separation of the three powers, and you cannot really speak of the "rule of law".
