Representative Justin Amash, a Michigan Republican who led a revolt in July to stop the mass surveillance, which came close to succeeding, told the Guardian that the widespread controversy over the NSA’s reach meant that Obama “will not get away with mere cosmetic changes to the governments domestic spying program”. Amash said: “Either he favors spying on every persons communications or he doesnt. Americans are outraged by domestic spying, and they will watch the Presidents actions closely.” . . . Amash said he hoped Obama “will work with us constructively,” but signaled that a legislative battle may be the ultimate resolution of the post-Snowden debate after Obama makes his speech on Friday at the Justice Department. Congress must protect Americans privacy regardless of what the President does,” Amash said.
