Justin Amash, R-Mich., introduced an amendment to the Defense Appropriations Bill that would have limited the NSA’s blanket collection of metadata to those ‘relevant to a national security investigation.’ The Patriot Act is unconstitutional, according to any reasonable interpretation of the Fourth Amendment.
