You give far too little agency to Congress in these matters. The PATRIOT ACT, CLOUD ACT, FOSTA/SESTA, and other laws were passed with bipartisan support. Currently, members of Congress are reenacting the Crypto Wars with legislation like EARN IT. Congress needs no help to undermine the rights of its citizens. It's ironic that the same people are now unhappy when a state is copying their own methods. Ultimately, this a case of Democrats being hoisted by their own petard.
The Fourth Amendment does not need to be fixed. It needs protection, and not just from Republicans, but from abuse by any government body or agency. That Google can allegedly stop data collection (although I'm not convinced that any such "switch" exists) is irrelevant to the fundamental matter. If Democrats want to protect privacy, they shouldn't have interfered with it in the first place.
