I was happy to see Senator Clinton come out and demand answers on why the NSA created a database on Americans' phone records. I have posted her statement below.
Senator Hillary Clinton: "Like many Americans, I am deeply disturbed by today's revelations about the NSA. We all deserve to know why the NSA has blocked the Department of Justice from investigating the NSA's domestic surveillance program and why it has created an enormous database of Americans' phone records.
Today's revelations further demonstrate what happens to our Constitution, laws, and privacy when there is no meaningful congressional oversight of the president's actions. Congress needs to get to the bottom of this. I join my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in demanding answers about the NSA's domestic surveillance program and the NSA's use of Americans' phone records. We must defend our homeland while also defending our Constitution, laws, and privacy."
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chair Rep. Rahm Emanuel endorsed Hillary Clinton's potential candidacy in 2008. He said on Real Time With Bill Maher "I'm Supporting Hillary Clinton, I've Been Very Public About It."
