"The millions and millions of “authorized” intercepts of our communications are all illegal — except for the very few carried out in pursuit of a validly-issued search warrant in accordance with the Fourth Amendment. That is the real story"

He seems to be saying that this story ignores the Much Larger Issue - the one Drake and others pointed out - that they are running All communications through fiber-optic repeaters and vacuuming up everything. This is how those "accidental" searches which they admitted to in their internal documents (released via Snowden) could have occurred n the first place.

Paul's economic-ideas should not be confused with his consistent support for civil-liberties. Challenge him where is is Wrong - not where he is Right. If only his son, Rand, shared his principles on Civil Liberties - but he doesn't - pro-droning criminal-suspects in the USA; he only shares the bad economic ideas.
