Via @just_security, how @RandPaul hijacked the surveillance reform debate (and not, in the end, for the better):http://justsecurity.org/23353/rand-paul-hijacked-surveillance-reform/ …

@emptywheel@RandPaul He certainly _mentioned_ them, but where is the push for actual _reforms_ of those authorities? -
@steve_vladeck@emptywheel@RandPaul As Wyden said, those are huge, but the Senate consensus isn’t there yet. We have to build it by 2017. -
@normative@emptywheel@RandPaul I couldn't agree more. But do you have any faith that what's happened these past few weeks has _helped_? -
@steve_vladeck@normative@emptywheel I have no great love for@RandPaul, but I don't see how you blame *him* for stifling larger debate. -
@SamAdlerBell@normative@emptywheel@RandPaul I'm not saying he stifled the larger debate; I'm saying he's perpetuating the distraction... -
@steve_vladeck@SamAdlerBell@normative@emptywheel Blaming@RandPaul for our not yet being able to address 702 and 12333 makes no sense. -
@granick@SamAdlerBell@normative@emptywheel@RandPaul I'm saying something else: Expending energy on 215 makes 702/12333 reform harder. -
@steve_vladeck Know what might have made 702/12333 reform possible? Expiration & no USAF.@granick@normative@emptywheel@RandPaul - 8 more replies
