United States Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution

The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution is one of six subcommittees within the Senate Judiciary Committee. The subcommittee was best known in the 1970s as the committee of Sam Ervin, whose investigations and lobbying — together with Frank Church and the Church Commission — led to the founding of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
