Rand Paul on Obama's NSA speech: "If you like your privacy, you can keep it
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) wasted no time in responding to President Barack Obama’s speech on purported NSA and intelligence reforms. Within minutes, the Kentucky Republican sent out statement in which he expressed disappointment at what he heard.
“While I am encouraged the President is addressing the NSA spying program because of pressure from Congress and the American people, I am disappointed in the details,” said Paul in the statement.
“The Fourth Amendment requires an individualized warrant based on probable cause before the government can search phone records and e-mails,” he said. “President Obama’s announced solution to the NSA spying controversy is the same unconstitutional program with a new configuration.”
Paul added that he plans to continue to push for his legislation, the Fourth Amendment Restoration Act, as well as his legal challenge against the NSA, saying that “[t]he American people should not expect the fox to guard the hen house.”
Paul further addressed President Obama’s proposed reforms during an appearance on CNN earlier this afternoon.
“I think what I heard was if you like your privacy, you can keep it,” said Paul, a jab at President Obama’s now-infamous Obamacare promise. “I didn’t hear any lessening of the spying of Americans, or collecting records of Americans. I heard that ‘trust me I’m gonna put some more safeguards in place, but I’m gonna keep right on collecting every Americans’ records.’”
Paul said that he doesn’t have an issue with spying on suspected terrorists. His problem with the bulk metadata collection program is that it targets Americans who are not suspected of a crime, arguing that the government doesn’t need records not related to terrorist activity.
