FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Rand Paul, the US Senator from Kentucky, will file a class-action lawsuit against the National Security Agency’s massive spying programs by next week.
Paul has been a strong critic of the NSA’s collection of phone and Internet records from Americans and has been working for months on the lawsuit.
The Republican Senator and other critics say the surveillance programs, revealed in a series of leaks by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, are illegal because the government needs a warrant to collect the data.
“I’m suing the NSA,” Paul said at a Washington conference Tuesday morning. “I would like people on the Internet to go out and really support our lawsuit,” he said.
On Friday, the Senator issued a statement dismissing President Barack Obama’s new NSA reform proposals as “the same unconstitutional program with a new configuration” and pledged to press on with the lawsuit as well as an act he’s pushing in Congress.
“We think what the government is doing now is overreach,” Paul told POLITICO in an interview Thursday, referring to the NSA’s mass collection of data. “We don’t think we can allow the president, who’s allowed this overreach, to be the one to police [it] himself.”
According to a USA TODAY and Pew Research Center poll conducted January15-19, a majority of Americans now opposes NSA’s data-collection practices.
The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, an independent review board working to protect Americans’ civil liberties and privacy, recently concluded that the NSA’s phone data collection program is illegal and should be stopped.
