Libertarian-leaning Paul addresses liberal-leaning campus
Updated 9:30 p.m. ET, 3/19/2014
(CNN) - Sen. Rand Paul, who's become known for venturing into unfamiliar territory for Republicans, spoke Wednesday at the liberal hotbed of the University of California at Berkeley.
The Kentucky Republican castigated President Barack Obama for his continued support of the National Security Agency's phone metadata collection, saying the President should know better in part because of his race.
"The first African-American president ought to be a little more conscious of the fact of what has happened with the abuses of domestic spying," Paul said.
"Martin Luther King was spied upon, civil rights leaders were spied upon, Muhammad Ali was spied upon, antiwar protesters were spied upon," he added. "The possibility for abuse in this is incredible. So I don't care if there's never been any evidence of abuse with the (NSA)., they should not be collecting the data."
The domestic data collection program became public after former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked the tactic, as well as a hoard of other NSA spying techniques, to the media last year.
In his speech Wednesday at Berkeley, Paul also mentioned the recent controversy surrounding claims that the CIA has been spying on computers used by Senate Intelligence Committee. CIA Director John Brennan responded with a flat-out denial of any wrongdoing.
"I don't know about you, but I'm worried. If the CIA is spying on Congress, who exactly can or will stop them? I look into the eyes of senators and I think I see real fear," he said.
"Maybe it's just my imagination, but I think I perceive fear of an intelligence community drunk with power, unrepentant, and uninclined to relinquish power," Paul said. "I am honestly worried and concerned about who is truly in charge of our government. Most of you have read the dystopian nightmares, the dystopian novels and maybe, like me, you doubted that it could ever happen in America."
Paul announced last month he was suing the Obama administration, demanding that the phone metadata collection be declared unconstitutional and put to an end.

Libertarian-leaning Paul heads to liberal-leaning campus
(CNN) -
Sen. Rand Paul, who's become known for venturing into unfamiliar territory for Republicans, will speak Wednesday at the liberal hotbed of the University of California at Berkeley.
The Kentucky Republican is expected to castigate President Barack Obama for his continued support of the National Security Agency's phone metadata collection, saying the President should know better in part because of his race.
"The first African-American president ought to be a little more conscious of the fact of what has happened with the abuses of domestic spying," Paul said when previewing his remarks in an interview with The New York Times.
"Martin Luther King was spied upon, civil rights leaders were spied upon, Muhammad Ali was spied upon, antiwar protesters were spied upon," he added. "The possibility for abuse in this is incredible. So I don't care if there's never been any evidence of abuse with the (NSA), they should not be collecting the data."

"I don't know about you, but I'm worried. If the CIA is spying on Congress, who exactly can or will stop them? I look into the eyes of senators and I think I see real fear," he will say, according to prepared text confirmed by CNN and first reported by Politico.
"Maybe it's just my imagination, but I think I perceive FEAR of an intelligence community drunk with power, unrepentant, and uninclined to relinquish power," the speech continues. "I am honestly worried - concerned about who is truly in charge of our government.

Boulder County Libertarian chairman appeals term-limit decision in commissioner's race
Boulder County Libertarian Party chairman Ralph Shnelvar wants the Colorado Court of Appeals to consider whether a partial term should count against term limits when it comes to a county commissioner seeking re-election.
At issue is a Boulder District Court ruling that incumbent Commissioner Cindy Domenico can seek another full four-year term in this year's elections.
Shnelvar disagrees with Boulder District Judge Bruce Langer's January decision that the partial term that Domenico served from July 2007 to January 2011 to fill a vacancy on the county board doesn't bar her from seeking re-election this year.
Shnelvar filed notice on Monday that he is seeking the Colorado Court of Appeals' review.
Boulder County commissioners generally can serve two consecutive four-year terms in that office.
In July 2007, a Boulder County Democratic Party vacancy committee appointed Lafayette Democrat Domenico, Boulder County's elected assessor at the time, to fill the county board's District 3 seat after the June 2007 death of then-Commissioner Tom Mayer.
In November 2008, Domenico won election to the final two years of the four-year term to which Mayer was elected in November 2006. She then won re-election to a full four-year term in November 2010. This year, she's running for another four-year term.
Louisville Democrat Alan Rosenfeld challenged Domenico's eligibility to seek re-election; Langer's ruling came from that lawsuit.
Rosenfeld is also seeking the District 3 seat on the Board of County Commissioners. Saturday, delegates to the 2014 Boulder County Democratic Party Assembly will decide whether Domenico, Rosenfeld or both will advance to the party's June primary election ballot.
Domenico said Tuesday that while she's not surprised at Shnelvar's attempt to get the Court of Appeals to consider the case, "I still stand on two attorney general's opinions" issued in past years when similar questions arose about partial terms counting against term limits "and, now, the Boulder District Court decision" that she can legally seek re-election.
