Even a little restraint on the NSA can't get through the House:

House rejects plan to kill NSA data collection
Jim Michaels, USA TODAY 7:01 p.m. EDT July 24, 2013
WASHINGTON – The Obama administration and National Security Agency narrowly averted an embarrassing setback Wednesday as the House defeated an attempt to block the collection of massive volumes of telephone records on domestic calls.

By a 217-205 vote, the House defeated a proposal by Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., that would have limited the collection of so-called metadata by the NSA.

The amendment, which was attached to a defense spending bill, would have required the government to show any collection of data is related to a specific individual.

UPDATE: Here's the vote tally -
