Sen. Rand Paul suggested Wednesday that President Obama agree to settle a class-action lawsuit he filed against the National Security Agency, arguing that the president can use it as a legal vehicle to make the NSA changes his administration is now considering.

“If the White House is serious, they don’t need to wait for legislation from Congress. They can act today to settle this matter,” Paul, R-Ky., said about reports of a policy change in the works by Obama’s team. “They should stop collecting phone data. They should acknowledge they need a warrant to access such information in the future and they should accept that this data is protected by our Fourth Amendment rights.”
