Rep. Justin Amash and Rep. John Conyers Jr. maintain an optimistic attiude after the narrow defeat of their bill to defund the NSA last week. ~JF "the narrowness of the margin and the bipartisan support suggest that Congress will revisit — and soon — the question of whether the NSA should be allowed to assemble what officials have referred to as a "haystack " of metadata in order to search for t...he "needle" of a connection to terrorism. The result of that reconsideration, we believe, should be legislation that would permit the government to collect such phone records only in connection with a specific investigation and with the approval of a court." latimes/news/opinion/editorials/la-ed-nsa-surveillance-amash-amendment-house-vote-20130729,0,6084823.story
