The section 215 business records provision was created in 2001 in the PATRIOT Act for tangible things.

I think it is really very important to show the cases where this has been used and has been effective.

The NSA only uses section 215 for phone call records, not for Google searches or other things.

Mr. President. On June 16th, a group of World War II veterans from Montana will be visiting our Nation's Capital. With a great deal of honor and respect, I extend a hearty Montana welcome to each and every one of them. Together, they will…

I consider it an ill thought-out policy response to a critical issue that the Supreme Court has said we need to take a different route on.

Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I appreciate the intent of my colleague and that he wants to try to solve this problem. As he knows, several of us have another proposal. What I suggest is that we compromise on the President's…

We are going to borrow $1.6 trillion over the next 10 years to fund student loans. The differential between what that costs the Treasury and what somebody pays--we are going to have subsidies in this no matter what. The question is, How…
