If that were the case, they'd have done something about it before. This doesn't appear to be new.

I wish this were true. My take after watching him for years is that he's uniquely equipped to evaluate these issues in a way his peers are not.

Given that a group of people is not typically of a single mind about the vast array of things for which a position might be expressed [0], the continued presence of Wyden reflects an ambivalence within the group and/or a controlled opposition to cite when the music stops.

President Obama was the President of the United States when he went on late night TV and assured everyone that the government didn't spy on Americans at all, after Wyden's warnings and the Snowden revelations.
