Senator Rand Paul said Thursday's court victory for those opposed to the NSA's domestic snooping operations needs to go higher up the court food chain to have any real effect.

Appearing on The Glenn Beck Radio Program Friday, Paul said as significant as the lower court victory is, it simply is not enough.

"I want the Supreme Court to rule on the constitutionality of whether or not a general warrant is constitutional," Paul said.

Paul compared the general warrants to scoop up phone records to the general warrants used by the British that helped spark the American Revolution.

The senator and would-be GOP presidential nominee argues that the 4th Amendment protection against unreasonable search and seizure requires a warrant to say the name of the person whose information is being sought.
