Biden In 2006: NSA Collection Of Phone Records Violates Privacy

In 2006, then-Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) blasted the Bush administration's domestic spying and called for a congressional investigation into the warrantless collection of millions of Americans' phone records.



BIDEN:If it’s true that 200 million Americans phone calls were monitored, in terms of not listening to what they said but to whom they spoke and who spoke to them -- I don't know, the Congress should investigate this.

BIDEN: This idea that no court will review, no Congress will know and we’re going to trust the president and the vice president of the United States, that they’re doing the right thing, don’t count me in on that.
