I have no idea what to make of this. More theater?

Rand Paul is a bad man who refuses to learn from other people, and is only interested in hearing himself talk.

Rand Paul hates all aspects of American foreign policy including our NSA. He denies the Islamic threat and says our wars are just for "the chosen people" (even though they benefit the whole world, because the Muslims want world domination/the Caliphate).

The NSA is not out to hurt American citizens. The NSA intercepts over a billion emails, phone calls, texts, etc. worldwide to find out information on terrorism that could save American lives.

The NSA violated the American Constitution and should be taken to task for it.

I do not agree with GreenLightToGo that this is just normal operating procedure. The fact is that this spying program did not prevent any terrorist attack (as we saw with the Boston bombing among other recent cases). The purpose of the NSA spying is to reduce the amount of privacy available to American citizens. The IRS case of harassing political enemies, in conjunction with the NSA spying case should make the average American patriot bristle with anger. The case of journalists being investigated because of their political beliefs and their computers compromised with NSA spyware should be the nail in the coffin for the unbridled spying which has been going on.

I do support the original 'Patriot Act' which was sold to us many years ago. There should be a court system of warrants which provide checks and balances for the protection of the privacy of individuals.

I believe the administration aught to be sued and all legal processes brought to bear against the unconstitutional search and seizure policy which has been permitted by this administration.

What bothers me about the reduction of privacy through the NSA or at the airports is that it's not targeted toward Muslims who follow a book that commits them to our destruction.

While our situation is bad, I think we should do what we can with the politically-correct 5th column that we unfortunately have. Rand Paul opposes the elimination of privacy for all Americans, including Muslims, and his issue isn't that we should target Muslims exclusively (which I believe we should).
