The U.S. government should not use FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrants to surveil Americans but should obey the Constitution, specifically the Fourth Amendment, to properly conduct searches and seizures, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Tuesday.

Paul made the remarks during the Senate Committee on Homeland Security’s counterterrorism hearing.
