The Obama administration lobbied against Amash’s amendment, and members of congressional intelligence committees defended the NSA’s actions. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., said it was ‘a false narrative that the federal government is taking in the content of American phone calls and emails.’ She said there was more information about U.S. citizens in a phone book than in the NSA database.”
