“the problem with the renewed argument by the Senator from Wisconsin is not on 7 days or 30 days, it is on 1 day. It is on any sneak and peek. It is on any delayed notification. Law enforcement has that latitude because they need to continue the investigation. If a disclosure is made, it will impede an investigation. A short period of time enables them to continue the investigation without alerting the target. One day would be too long for the argument which is made by the Senator from Wisconsin. We are conducting this debate as if we have a law enforcement community in this country made up totally of rogues who have no regard for the rights of the individual. And when they get a delayed notice warrant, bear in mind, my colleagues and the Senator from Wisconsin, they have gotten judicial review on this sneak-and-peek warrant. On this delayed notification warrant, they have gone to a judge and have gotten leeway on standards which are set forth and articulated in the PATRIOT Act. Mr. President, the Senate is not in order. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct. The Senate will come to order.”
