Watch Live: Sen. Rand Paul Launches ‘Filibuster’ in Protest of Patriot Act Renewal | Video | TheBlaze.com:

“There comes to a time in the history of nations when fear and complacency allow power to accumulate and liberty and privacy to suffer. That time is now,” Paul said Wednesday. “And I will not let the Patriot Act, the most un-patriotic of acts, go unchallenged.”

He later quoted the Fourth Amendment and argued that the text clearly indicates that warrantless surveillance of Americans under the Patriot Act is unconstitutional. He said that the federal government has essentially asserted that all Americans are under “suspicion” by indiscriminately storing their data."
