Earlier this week, Paul proposed that Congress pass a law stating that the government can't base its program on the Fourth Amendment. He should know, he must know that no one has been claiming that the Fourth Amendment is the source of power for the program. The source of power for the program is the government's power to provide for a national defense under the Constitution.

Now, he proposes that some other branch of government (Supreme Court) do something to stop the program.

Why doesn't he propose doing something that is within the power of the Congress to do - cut off funding for this data-gathering program? Ask yourself why he doesn't propose that, if he really wants to stop the program?

I think he's a phony. I think Rand Paul wants to appear as if he is opposed to a program that he actually supports.

This illustrates the difference between phonies like Rand Paul and guys like Ted Cruz. Cruz isn't afraid to be honest about his beliefs and isn't afraid to make proposals that might work.

Ted Cruz? He has’t even criticized the PRISM program yet. He has been in office a few months, AFAIK. I’ll trust him more after he at lest says something about the biggest scandal of my lifetime.

won’t be the first time Pail has said he opposes it and then he;s voted for it.

I;’d like to know why people have not been arrested and criminal charges have not been brought forward , with loss of jobs, jail time and loss of pensions.

These hearings are a joke as the dictators men are not giving evidence or answering questions and why is the white house closed too?
