Sen. Rand Paul: NSA Recommendations Don't Go Far Enough

SEN. RAND PAUL (R-KY): My reaction is is that the judge the other day who said that it was unconstitutional is exactly right. I think even the president's own team now is coming up with recommendations and acknowledge that the president has allowed this to get away from himself. He's allowed the NSA program to be intrusive, go against civil rights, go against the Fourth Amendment. Even his own team is now recommending that he needs to rein this in. I don't think that they go far enough in the sense that I think the Fourth Amendment should protect your personal information and that you do have a right to privacy. Whether the papers are in your house or whether they are kept at your bank, I think that you do have a right to privacy and we'll continue to fight this.
