If anything is going to get both parties in Congress up in arms about the NSA’s snooping on Verizon customers, this is likely it:

Amid the revelations that the National Security Agency has been secretly monitoring the records of millions of phone calls across the country via telephone service provider Verizon,  Congress is concerned that the NSA’s actions may have also captured phone calls of lawmakers and their staffers. It should be noted that Verizon is one of the main service providers to government issued Blackberries members and their staff use to communicate with one another.

Even Democrats are expressing concern:

Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-MD), chairwoman of the Appropriations Committee, said Kirk raised “a very important point,” and said a classified hearing would be in order to discuss the issue further.

“This act by the Obama Administration is clearly unconstitutional. The federal government has no probable cause to believe that all users of Verizon phones are presumed the aiders and abettors to international criminals,” said the Senate staffer. He continued, ”The 4th Amendment requires probable cause and it does not exist, unless if we are now to presume that all Americans are potential terrorists.”

Given that nearly 60% Americans polled oppose this sort of snooping, and barely over 1/4 support it, this seems to be one of those stories with “legs,” as political junkies say.
