Reports that the National Security Agency (NSA) routinely breaks the
law and violates court orders and the Constitution in order to collect
private data of hundreds of millions of Americans has prompted some
federal lawmakers to finally exercise a little oversight.
“Press reports that the National Security Agency broke privacy rules thousands of times per year and reportedly sought to shield required disclosure of privacy violations are extremely disturbing,” said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), as reported by the Washington Post. The article in the Post also says Pelosi thinks “Congress should take steps to ensure that such incidents are not repeated.”
A pair of familiar congressional foes of the surveillance state joined the chorus calling for a change in the NSA’s atmosphere of unfettered authority.
