Rep. Justin Amash introduced a special amendment this week to end the “blanket” collection of U.S. citizen’s phone records by the NSA–the controversial international digital surveillance plan that Edward Snowden revealed to the Guardian newspaper. The amendment, which would have stopped the flow of federal funds to the NSA for this purpose, was defeated by a vote of 217 nays and 205 yeas.
