Do Members of Congress want to go on record supporting unconstitutional, blanket collection of all Americans' phone records? We'll find out.Finally some bipartisanship and Obama is against it. The House will vote tomorrow on an amendment sponsored by two Michigan Congressmen, Republican Justin Amish and Democrat John Conyers to forbid NSA from collecting telecom metadata. Speaker John Boehner was reluctant to support the amendment but caved when Amash threatened to vote against a procedural vote on the bill — and bring some 20 Republican votes along to defeat it — if his amendment did not get a vote.

So everybody is happy, happy, happy? Hardly. There is bipartisan opposition among the leadership of both the Senate and House Intelligence Committees and Obama is unhappy.
