Rep Farenthold asks DOJ official if he sees ‘any limitation on the government’s power’

Do you see any limitation, under the fourth amendment or the Patriot Act, on the government’s power to gather information in mass on people?

Remember, the FISA court is a secret court.

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. – Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
