Obama to Call for End to N.S.A.’s Bulk Data Collection

Under the proposal, they said, N.S.A. would end its systematic collection of data about Americans’ calling habits. The records would stay in the hands of phone companies, which would not be required to retain the data for any longer than they normally would. And the N.S.A. could obtain specific records only with permission from a judge, using a new kind of court order.

So lets see if congress can demand and get proper oversight. This assumes they can take a brief pause from voting to repeal Obamacare and so something useful.
