CSPAN 07/24/2013
Rogers continued 1: no phone calls, no names and no addresses. 14 federal judges have said yes this comports with the constitution. 800 cases around between the 1979 case have affirmed the underpinnings of the legality of this case. 800.

A False narrative has emerged that the federal government is taking in the content of the American people's emails It’s not true. It’s not happening. We need to deal in facts. And the facts are real.
