Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), a staunch defender of civil liberties, suggested on Fox News Sunday that the government’s surveillance program goes too far. Paul, who’s a member of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, said, “We’re not talking about going after a terrorist – I’m all for that. Get a warrant; go after a terrorist or a murderer or a rapist. But don’t troll through a billion phone records every day.”
“That is unconstitutional. It invades our privacy,” Paul stated.
