Rand Paul on Obama on NSA: “The Same Unconstitutional Program with a New Configuration”

Look for much more coverage of Obama’s NSA speech this morning
as the day rolls on here at Hit and Run, but Kentucky Sen. Rand
Paul’s reaction is worth a quick note, via a press release:

“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. The Fourth Amendment
requires an individualized warrant based on probable cause before
the government can search phone records and e-mails. President
Obama’s announced solution to the NSA spying controversy is the
same unconstitutional program with a new configuration,” Sen. Paul
said. “I intend to continue the fight to restore Americans rights
through my Fourth Amendment Restoration Act and my legal challenge
against the NSA. The American people should not expect the fox to
guard the hen house.”
