On Thursday, U.S. Sen. Bob Corker said it was "troubling" to read the Guardian newspaper's report on the NSA's nationwide roundup of Verizon phone records. The Tennessee Republican claimed to have "no idea" of how much the Obama administration used the Patriot Act to justify collection. Corker later issued a statement calling for "appropriate oversight and protections for the civil liberties of innocent Americans."

Does that sound familiar or what?

Two years before that, Corker and Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., voted to renew the Patriot Act for five years, joining every Southern senator except Rand Paul of Kentucky.
