Opposing Bulk NSA Surveillance




Cato Video show

Summary: Rep. Justin Amash cosponsored an amendment that would have defunded the National Security Agency's unwarranted bulk collection of Americans' phone data. The measure failed narrowly, but has re-energized the legislative struggle for civil liberties. Amash believes that James Clapper, the Director of National Intelligence, should be prosecuted for lying to Congress. He also says he doesn't appreciate the "condescending" tone of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie with respect to the debate over national security.Video produced by Caleb O. Brown and Austin Bragg.
