Rand Paul to file class-action lawsuit against the NSA spying program

 The news is just crossing the wire that Rand Paul will file a class-action lawsuit against the NSA spying program in the near future and if you wish to sign up you can visit this link.

  However, I question how serious of an effort this is for when you fill in the sign up form for the lawsuit you are immediately brought to the Rand2016 donation page. It is unclear to me if signing up for the lawsuit without donating is enough to complete the process of actually joining the lawsuit. This could be a political publicity game he is playing to set up a run for president in 2016. At this point I trust none of the elected officials in Washington to put the good of the country ahead of doing what is best for them personally and this reeks of political opportunism to me. I hope I am wrong.

  Even if this is a real effort at stopping the NSA spying program there is still a major hurdle to clear and that is the fact it is being reported he will file the lawsuit in the DC District Court. Remember Harry Reid invoked the nuclear option in order to push Barack Obama’s radical appointees through the Congress and one of the courts he is most interested in packing is the DC Courts, so the race will be on.

  That is pretty much all we know at this time, but Rand Paul will be doing an interview later tonight so perhaps we will learn more at that time. Stay tuned…..
