Back in the days of telegrams, NSA was told to stop collecting telegram flimsies for overseas telegrams (Western UInion had agreed to make them available, they were picked up daily then returned).
They said they did but continued the practice. So if Congress directs them to stop doing something, there is no guarantee it will happen.
“The Puzzle Palace” has lots of good NSA tales.

It’ll be fun watching King Hussein veto this and trying to explain why, assuming the Senate even bothers to take it up.

So Congress has control after all. Imagine that.
It’s good that a few in Congress recognize the obvious legislative responsibility, but it’s a damn shame no one else on the planet does.

It is good that the House is doing this. Of course, Harry Reid will never let it come to a vote in the Senate and the pResident will veto it if it gets to him, but the house must do it.

The House has to at least get the process going. Let Reid take responsibility for stalling it.

One of the few issues in which liberals and conservatives are aligned, but I bet it will fail anyway. The NSA will simply dig up dirt and blackmail a majority into killing it.

Makes it much harder for Dingy to ignore it and nobama to veto it.

LOL! When all is said and done, CONgress will do nothing to limit NSA programs. They’re complicit.
This is just kabuki theater for the masses signifying nothing.

The gop wing of the uniparty wants the NSA data to provide for an expanded police state. The ‘rat wing of the uniparty wants the NSA data for blackmail. So what part of CONgress is actually going to pass this
This bill will die an unremarked death. Kabuki theater amounting to nothing.

Met Mulvaney in Indian Land right before he was elected. Glad he kicked Spratt’s ass out of office.

The Senate can reject a spending bill, but only for so long.This isn't just a spending bill. It's the defense authorization for the next fiscal year. Important stuff. The perfect bill to attach this amendment to.

Take the money from NSA and tell DoD it has to be spent to stop the furloughs of nurses, teachers, cops, and engineers. That will drive Barry Mugabe and Chuckie Hagel bat guano.

I understand that this has just been defeated by a 218-207 vote.
I know in advance I am going to be angry at my congresscritter...
Will be interested to see who else voted against it.
