Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) is leading a class-action lawsuit with hundreds of thousands of Americans against President Barack Obama’s National Security Agency (NSA) over its spying on the American people, Breitbart News has learned.

Sen. Paul will be discussing the lawsuit in an exclusive appearance on Fox News with host Eric Bolling at 10 PM ET on Friday. Breitbart News has learned that Paul will file the class action lawsuit soon in the D.C. District Court and that he will be filing it as an individual, not as a U.S. Senator. For a U.S. Senator to file a such a class action lawsuit against the President of the United States would be extremely rare.

With regard to NSA spying, this is the first class action lawsuit against such activity. This allows the American people to join together in a grassroots manner against President Obama’s NSA for the first time in the legal system, as all other lawsuits have been individuals suing against the agency.

The focus of the lawsuit will be how the NSA's actions violate the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. The lawsuit will target the NSA’s metadata program.
Via Paul’s campaign website, more than 300,000 Americans have already indicated they will sign up for the suit when it is officially filed in D.C. District court. Americans can join the lawsuit by visiting Paul’s website.

The class action suit from Sen. Paul against the president comes on the heels of two different conflicting court rulings in individual suits against the NSA, with one court ruling that the NSA was within its bounds to spy on Americans shortly after a different court ruled the NSA’s actions were unconstitutional. The conflicting decisions all but guarantee an eventual Supreme Court-level case on the matter.

Got this in my email:


Dear Eric,

Thank you for supporting my efforts to bring Constitutional values to Washington.

I would like to take a second to tell you about RandPAC.

RandPAC isn't your run-of-the-mill political action committee. We have a two-pronged plan of attack to advance the conservative movement:

1. RandPAC pressures members of Congress with TV ads, emails, phone calls, faxes, and petitions to oppose big government power grabs and to uphold the Constitution.

2. And if any member of Congress sells out to the big-government establishment, RandPAC will work to flush them out of office by recruiting, endorsing, and promoting candidates who are committed conservatives.

RandPAC will only endorse candidates who will fight for limited government, free markets, and the right to life. You have my word on this.

And despite being new on the scene, RandPAC has already had great success!

In 2012, RandPAC-endorsed candidates like Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, and Rep. Kerry Bentivolio of Michigan defeated big-spending establishment incumbents all across the country.

Our legislative priorities are gaining steam being backed by our constitutional coalition in Congress that grows larger with each election cycle.

RandPAC has led the fights to repeal Obamacare, protect our Constitutional rights, and save our wallets from tax hikes and ill-advised foreign aid.

And over the next few days, you will receive emails detailing the battles RandPAC has fought and will continue to fight.

Your support for RandPAC is crucial in these fights because it is YOUR voice that matters on these issues.

RandPAC is leading the fight for conservative values in Washington, but we can’t do it without your help.

So please chip in $50, $25, or whatever you can afford to help RandPAC expand our conservative coalition and fight for our values in Washington.

I sincerely thank you for all that you do.

In Liberty,

Senator Rand Paul
