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.

It's possible that Ted Cruz is smart enough to see that there isn't any simple way to change the current program. My criticism of Paul is that he keeps coming up with simpleton proposals that are certain to not change anything and I have to assume that he feels some compulsion to make proposals even though they are meaningless so that he can appear to be doing something.

The only way to really for Congress to stop this program is to cut off its funding. Why doesn't Paul propose that? The Congress doesn't have the power to tell the courts how to interpret the Constitution and the Congress doesn't have the power to tell the Executive branch how to interpret the Constitution. So, why does he propose a law that purports to tell these other branches how to interpret the Constitution when he knows it's not within the Congress's power to do so?

I'll tell you why he doesn't propose cutting the funding for the program. It's because he doesn't want to be seen as really doing anything that might be viewed as interfering with our national defense. He's a phony.

Ted Cruz has said something about the NSA scandal. Internet search engines are your friends if you care to find out what he said.
