SEN. RAND PAUL: I would say that i‘m a defender of the Bill of Rights and also someone who defends the spirit of the framers of the constitution.

We fought The Revolution. John Adams said the Revolution was sparked by the right to privacy, the right to have your papers left alone unless a judge signs a warrant with your name on it. When you have a single warrant that has the name Verizon on it and you collect hundreds of millions of records from one warrant, I think that‘s the definition of a generalized warrant, and I think that goes against the spirit of the Fourth Amendment.
