Actually Sanders is generally one of the less execrable members of that august body. His letter (http://www.sanders.senate.gov/download/letter-to-nsa http://www.sanders.senate.gov/download/letter-to-nsa) makes it abundantly clear that he's very alarmed about NSA spying on all Americans. This letter indicates a tactic meant to stoke other legislators' outrage ahead of the upcoming Congress, as opposed to a strategy of opposing NSA spying specifically on lawmakers.
