Rep Jared Polis wants US intelligence to monitor Sen Marco Rubio 24/7

Rep Jared Polis (D-CO) is calling for the US intelligence community to begin 24-hour monitoring of Sen Marco Rubio (R-FL) in response to a recent op-ed Sen Rubio wrote endorsing the permanent extension of post 9/11 intelligence gathering tools, presumably including controversial domestic data collection programs revealed by former government contractor Edward Snowden.

"If Sen Rubio believes that millions of innocent Americans should be subject to intrusive and unconstitutional government surveillance, surely he would have no objections to the government monitoring his own actions and conversations,” Rep Polis said. "Sen Rubio is asking for American technology companies to ‘cooperate with authorities,’ so I believe he will have no objection to authorities being given access to his electronic correspondence and metadata. Maybe after his 2016 strategy documents are accidentally caught up in a government data grab, he’ll rethink the use of mass surveillance,” he continued.
