Rand Paul: The US Government Has Sunk to a New Low

Needless to say, the esteemed Senator from Kentucky is not pleased with the latest revelation of the NSA spying on innocent US citizens.  He even uses the word "evil" in the press release:

The National Security Agency's seizure and surveillance of virtually all of Verizon's phone customers is an astounding assault on the Constitution. After revelations that the Internal Revenue Service targeted political dissidents and the Department of Justice seized reporters' phone records, it would appear that this Administration has now sunk to a new low.

When Sen. Mike Lee and I offered an amendment that would attach Fourth Amendment protections to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act last year, it was defeated, and FISA was passed by an overwhelming majority of the Senate. At the time, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid remarked that FISA was "necessary to protect us from the evil in this world."

The Bill of Rights was designed to protect us from evil, too, particularly that which always correlates with concentrated government power, and particularly Executive power. If the President and Congress would obey the Fourth Amendment we all swore to uphold, this new shocking revelation that the government is now spying on citizens' phone data en masse would never have happened.

Rand Paul Mocks McCain on Syria:

The pro-Syria intervention folks think they have come up with a winning strategy for getting us involved in Syria. We will send arms to rebels who have been properly vetted. Rand Paul has a great response to that while at the same time mocking John McCain, "apparently we had a senator over there who had his picture taken with some kidnappers, so I don't know how good a job we're doing vetting those who are going to get the arms":
