Rand Paul launches campaign for EPIC lawsuit against the Obama Admin!

All the facts and figures show that the Obama admin FAILED the American people on 4/15/2013.

Rand Paul Tells Fox Viewers To Join Lawsuit Against NSA: ‘I’m Going To Challenge This At The Supreme Court’ | Mediaite

This should be an EPIC development should Rand Paul receive the 10 million signatures he needs to file a class action lawsuit. Should be an amazing event in American history were it to become reality.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul took to Fox News Sunday to declare 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 of primary, it sounds like an extraordinary invasion of privacy.”

“I have no problem if you have probable cause, you target people who are terrorists, and you go after them,” Paul continued. “But we’re talking about trolling through billions of phone records…That is unconstitutional.”

Paul also said he would introduce the Fourth Amendment Restoriation Act, though he offered few details about the still-hypothetical legislation.

“If you talk to young people who use computers every day, they’re absolutely with me,” Paul said. “What I spend on my Visa each month, that’s my business, where I spend it, and whether I read conservative magazines, whether I subscribe to Fox News, or whether I subscribe to Yahoo or Google—what I do with my private life is my private life. If you suspect me of a crime, have probable cause.”

“So much of our life now is digitalized, that we have to protect it from a snooping government,” Paul said. “We’ve now got a government that appears to target people based on their political beliefs. I don’t want my phone records being given to an administration I can’t trust.”

Paul remembered that the public outrage against SOPA and PIPA legislation last year were somewhat successful in pushing back the laws, and predicted that if people reacted with similar severity to the current surveillance measures, they would be successful in repealing them.

Lol @ this dumbass rethug (the OP) not realizing the courts are in on this shyt.

And he still thinks this started on 4/15 .

Lol...the op is always making threads drastically and hyperbolically overstating things. I applaud Kland Paul for this, but like the poster above me said, the courts are on the side of the state and the executive branch this. Nothing will happen. Lol@EPIC in all caps.

Not always.

But in this case I think you'll be right. fukking with the Executive Branch is different than fukking with NSA/CIA.

Rand Paul is one of the few politicians that actually give a fukk about the constitution.

Rand Paul is one of the few politicians that actually give a fukk about the constitution.

He only cares about State's rights so his fellow hill billys can fukk with the civil civil liberties of other people at the state level. He's a individual who doesn't really care about civil liberties in any objective sense.

With that said, he is right in this particular case.

That's cool and all but where in the hell was these guys at during the Bush years. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't remember these fukks challenging shyt in those Bush years. It's crazy because I remember the immediate after effect of 9/11. If anybody said anything against Bush or any of those national security acts and agencies you were a traitor.

Dude, the dude just got into politics over the past few years, and wasn't really a major voice duing the bush era. His dad was and we all know how anti-big government he was.

Its scary how accurate Ron Pauls predictions have become...
