Rep. Mike Pompeo Says NSA‘s Metadata Program Is A Result Of The Way ‚Government Is Supposed To Operate‘

„It‘s of course our duty to ensure that the NSA stays within its legal bounds here in Congress and this amendment makes it perfectly clear for everyone to know and understand“

If it‘s your duty, you damn suck at it. „Staying within the legal bounds“ means following existing, normal interpretations of the law, not a constant redrawing of boundaries and redefinitions of words like „relevant.“
