Ra\u00fal M. Grijalva today called the National Security Agency\u2019s overreaching domestic surveillance programs \u201ca serious breach of faith between the federal government and the American people\u201d and called on the administration to curtail and explain the excessive records sweeps documented over the past 48 hours.\r\n\r\n\t\u201cSenator Obama would not have supported this program under President Bush,\u201d Grijalva said. \u201cA secretive intelligence agency gathering millions of phone records and using them as it sees fit is the kind of excess many of us warned about after the Patriot Act became law. Continuing this program indefinitely gives the impression of being under constant siege and needing to know everything at all times to keep us safe, which I find a very troubling view of American security policy.\u201d\r\n\r\n\tGrijalva called for the court decisions approving the program \u2013 which is not limited to Verizon Business Networks and did not originate in April of this year, according to multiple reports \u2013 to be released so Congress and the public can understand the scope of the effort.\r\n\r\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re being assured that this is limited, supervised and no big deal,\u201d Grijalva said. \u201cWhen we heard the same under President Bush, we weren\u2019t comfortable taking his word for it and moving on. I feel the same today.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["http://grijalva.house.gov/index.cfm?sectionid=13&itemid=1493"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6432461086660624, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
