“Two California state senators have introduced a bill that would stop state agencies from assisting the National Security Agency to collect ‘any electronic data or metadata… not based on a warrant.’ In addition to stopping state agencies and officials from helping with warrantless surveillance, it would ban corporations that do business with the state from offering such assistance. That could leave the large telecom companies in a legally difficult position: following orders from the federal Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court would put them them in violation of state law. Another proposal pushed by the Tenth Amendment Center is the idea of barring the NSA from recruiting at public universities.”
