On the recordFebruary 14, 2011
We know that we have a problem with the three remaining intrusive and, I believe, unconstitutional provisions. So the question is, how do we fix it for the American public? How do we ensure the Constitution is intact? Let me be very clear: It is well documented that human intelligence is the best. Why? Because most of us were surprised when I say that in the intelligence community--at least they have not articulated about what is going on in the Mideast, both in Egypt and Yemen and otherwise--we were surprised. Did any of that help us? This is an intrusion on the American public. We are not in any way nonpatriots. We are patriots. We believe in the Founding Fathers. We understand that they came together to give you, Americans, the right to your freedom.
