They don't stand a chance. The elite in the USA wants surveillance. Keep tabs on "terrorists" and any other potential troublemakers... Lord knows what they'll use it for in the future.

And they've got 100s of TV channels, the Hollywood establishment and most written media and radio behind them. Spreading their relentless message not just in the USA but around the globe.

What chance does a lone senator have against that?

They've already turned the US public against Snowden.

On privacy; in the UK and the USA we are marching at a fast pace towards 1984. Here in the UK you notice it everywhere; CCTV, constant checks of credit history, criminal history, security checks.

And all the other West allied countries are busy falling in line and lapping up the latest gospel from the USA via the "free" media.

Seriously, nothing short of a popular revolution could stop the new world order now. It's just around the corner.
