Rand Paul Files Suit Against Obama Over NSA's Collection of Metadata

RoccamOccam writes Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) is filing a class action lawsuit against President Obama and other members of his administration over the National Security Agency's collection of phone metadata, a practice he believes violates the Fourth Amendment. In a YouTube video released Tuesday, Paul compared the government surveillance to the warrantless searches practiced by the British military prior to American independence."

    Agreed.

    While I certainly don't agree with all of Rand Paul's ideas, I applaud him for actually HAVING ideas in the first place. Far too many Congress-critters only care about keeping the status quo (and using the status quo to keep their 'hookers and blow' funds fully stocked.)
