Rep. James Sensenbrenner Jr., the man who authored the original PATRIOT Act of 2001, says that the House and Senate Intelligence committees, which are supposed to operate as oversight watchdogs of government spy agencies, have become “cheerleaders” for the NSA.

In an interview with The Hill, Sensenbrenner chided the leaders of the committees, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), saying that “Instead of putting the brakes on overreaches, they’ve been stepping on the gas,”

Sensenbrenner also said that the legislation proposed by Feinstein to restrict the NSA is “a joke,” and that it pales in comparison to his own bill, which now has 107 co-sponsors.

Feinstein’s view is essentially “if you like your NSA, you can keep it.” the 18 term Wisconsin Republican noted.
