Yes. But AFAIK, not an unconstitutional one. Wyden agrees with you:

> Wyden said buying information on Americans without obtaining a warrant was an “outrageous end-run around the Fourth Amendment,”

America needs privacy laws for this reason (or an amendment, but good luck). Vote when November rolls around; the other piece is finding Democrats that will take an actual stance on privacy closer to Wyden's.
