| 00:00:00 | SENATORS WISHING TO CHANGE HIS OR HER VOTE? |
| 00:00:03 | HEARING NONE, ON THIS VOTE THE YEAS ARE 37. |
| 00:00:07 | THE NAYS ARE 54. |
| 00:00:10 | UNDER THE PREVIOUS ORDER REQUIRING 60 VOTES FOR THE ADOPTION OF THIS AMENDMENT, THE AMENDMENT IS NOT AGREED TO. |
| 00:00:23 | UNDER THE PREVIOUS ORDER, THERE WILL BE TWO MINUTES OF DEBATE EQUALLY DIVIDED PRIOR TO A VOTE IN RELATION TO AMENDMENT NUMBER 3436 OFFERED BY THE SENATOR FROM KENTUCKY, MR. |
| 00:00:38 | PAUL. MR. |
| 00:00:40 | PAUL: MR. |
| 00:00:41 | PRESIDENT? THE PRESIDING OFFICER: THE SENATOR FROM KENTUCKY. |
| 00:00:43 | MR. PAUL: I RISE TODAY TO SUPPORT THE FOURTH AMENDMENT PROTECTION ACT. |
| 00:00:46 | THE FOURTH AMENDMENT GUARANTEES THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE SECURE IN THEIR PERSONS, HOUSES AND PAPERS AGAINST UNREASONABLE SEARCHES AND SEIZURES. |
| 00:00:54 | SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY, THOUGH, WE BECAME LAZY AND HAPHAZARD IN OUR VIGILANCE. |
| 00:01:00 | WE ALLOWED CONGRESS AND THE COURTS TO DIMINISH OUR FOURTH QUARTER AMENDMENT PROTECTION. |
| 00:01:09 | PARTICULARLY WHEN ARE PAPERS WERE HELD BY THIRD PARTIES. |
| 00:01:11 | I THINK MOST AMERICANS WOULD BE SHOCKED TO KNOW THAT THE FOURTH AMENDMENT DOES NOT PROTECT YOUR RECORDS IF THEY'RE BANKING, INTERNET OR VISA RECORDS. |
| 00:01:20 | A WARRANT IS REQUIRED TO READ YOUR SPHAEUL MAIL AND TO -- YOUR SNAIL MAIL AND TAP YOUR PHONE BUT NO WARRANT IS REQUIRED TO LOOK AT YOUR E-MAIL, TEXT OR YOUR INTERNET SEARCHES. |
| 00:01:30 | THEY CAN BE READ WITHOUT A WARRANT. |
| 00:01:32 | WHY IS A PHONE CALL MORE DESERVING OF PRIVACY PROTECTION THAN AN E-MAIL? |
| 00:01:37 | THIS AMENDMENT WOULD RESTORE THE FOURTH AMENDMENT PROTECTIONS TO THIRD-PARTY RECORDS, AND I RECOMMEND A "YES" VOTE. |
| 00:01:45 | MRS. FEINSTEIN: MR. |
| 00:01:46 | PRESIDENT? THE PRESIDING OFFICER: THE SENATOR FROM CALIFORNIA. |
| 00:01:48 | MRS. FEINSTEIN: I OPPOSE THIS AMENDMENT, AS DOES THE VICE CHAIRMAN, AS DOES THE ADMINISTRATION. |
| 00:01:51 | THIS AMENDMENT IS NOT GERMANE TO FISA. |
| 00:01:54 | IT HAS NOT BEEN REVIEWED BY THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE WHICH WOULD HAVE JURISDICTION OVER THIS MATTER. |
| 00:02:00 | IT SEEKS TO REVERSE 30 YEARS OF SUPREME COURT PRECEDENT INTERPRETING THE FOURTH AMENDMENT. |
| 00:02:07 | ACCORDING TO THE ADMINISTRATION, AND I QUOTE THE D. |
| 00:02:12 | N.I., THE AMENDMENT WOULD SEVERELY LIMIT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITIES AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT AND WILL EFFECTIVELY REPEAL THE FISA AMENDMENT TO ACT. |
| 00:02:23 | I URGE A "NO" VOTE. |
| 00:02:32 | THE PRESIDING OFFICER: THE QUESTION IS ON THE PAUL AMENDMENT. |
| 00:02:35 | IS THERE A SUFFICIENT SECOND? |
| 00:02:38 | THERE APPEARS TO BE. |
| 00:02:39 | THERE IS. |
| 00:02:45 | THE CLERK WILL CALL THE ROLL. |
