Issue Position: Domestic Spying

Issue Position

As a prosecutor, Tom knew that if he wanted to see a suspect's personal information he needed to get a warrant. The idea of collecting bulk data from millions of Americans without a warrant of any kind is unconscionable and unconstitutional. The Bill of Rights protects us from our government by limiting what our government can do. If the government wants to see what is in a person's phone records, text records, email records, photographs, bank records, or anything else, Tom believes it must obtain a warrant. To quote Ben Franklin, those "that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." Tom will join the Freedom Caucus in fighting to protect you from warrantless domestic spying.
