this amendment is about protecting American privacy, about making sure that Government is not intruding on our most private data. It is about respecting the Constitution and the Fourth Amendment. The Wyden-Daines amendment simply prohibits the collection of browser and search history data under section 215.

If you want to see an American's search history, than you better go to a judge and get a warrant. I yield the floor. Vote on Amendment No. 1583 The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is on agreeing to the amendment.
