Republican Party Demands Investigation Into NSA Spying

In the latest indication of a growing libertarian wing of the Republican party, the RNC “passed a resolution Friday calling for an investigation into the “gross infringement” of Americans’ rights by National Security Agency programs that were revealed by Edward Snowden,” Time reports.

The measure passed by an “overwhelming majority” by voice vote and declares “the mass collection and retention of personal data is in itself contrary to the right of privacy protected by the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution.”
