Elected officials don't have a reason to action any concern unless you're willing to change your vote over it (indeed, if lots of people are willing to change all their votes over it.)[1] Something like PRISM doesn't even get the requisite majority support (well, it does for email, not for phone records), let alone high enough priority to make people vote for some third "privacy party" candidate in the next presidential election, or to vote out legislators based on their support for it. It doesn't stand a chance of being changed. (except by a ruling that it breaches the 4th, which is rather unlikely, sadly.) [1] example from the UK; leaving the EU (most people would say yes, but wouldn't change their vote over it). House of Lords reform, too. If we ever get a referendum on either, boom!
