What the Tribble-Toupeed One doesn't understand: FISA - the federal law covering national security intelligence gathering - already requires warrants. Verizon turned over its customer records after receiving a FISA court warrant.

But a pointless bill gets him on the front pages, excites the libertarian rubes and will play well in Iowa and New Hampshire in 2016, and that's all he cares about.
