court case, it seems to me this decision by judge leon is contrary to those court decisions and will have to wait and see what an appellate court does. >> johnntinued viability of this program for the american people to see it as a limited program. what the judge ruled in this case or said in his ruling was that he couldn't imagine any more indiscriminate or arbitrary invasion than the systemic and high-tech collection of personal data on virtually every single u.s. citizen. how do you feel about that particular part of his opinion and his ruling yesterday? do you think that's a fair assess osmt what he said about the program as it currently exists? >> i don't think it is a fair assessment, quite frankly. this is not a situation where you had the executive branch conducting this kind of collection without any kind of supervision or oversight. now, i do agree that we need to be careful about abuses and i do support the role of congress. i think we need to have strict oversight by the congress. i think we need to have more reporting to the congress by the nsa in terms of how these authorities are being used. i think we need to have a general c
