Ehh, that's not entirely true.
The bill they are trying to pass has a lot of oversight mechanisms. If they don't pass it, we will go to the pre-Patriot Act program that had a ton of domestic spying, without any oversight.
It's more like, "Handful of Senators stand in the way of oversight because their supporters are too stupid to know what's in the new bill."

That's a feature, not a bug, of our constitution.
