Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) declared his legal opposition to the NSA's surveillance programs. "I'm going to be seeing if I can challenge this at the Supreme Court level," Paul said.
"I'm going to be asking all the internet providers and all of the phone companies: ask your customers to join me in a class action lawsuit," Paul told host Chris Wallace. "If we get ten million Americans saying we don't want our phone records looked at, then maybe someone will wake up and something will change in Washington."
Like many lawmakers, Paul drew a distinction between targeted surveillance and the blanket surveillance revealed this week.
"They are looking at a billion phone calls a day," Paul said. "That doesn't sound to me like a modest invasion"
