1. It allows the Justice Department to obtain FISA warrants on classes of people, for example, millions of Verizon customers. Constitutionally a warrant must contain the name of a specific person, and what the law enforcement agency is allowed to search and search for.
2. The current FISA court has shown that they have no problem with abusing their warrant authority. They issued warrants for spying on the Trump campaign based on obviously self-conflicting information in warrant applications.
Yes, the bill is bipartisan. So what? Veto it, and let the FISA court's extra-jurisdictional authority expire.
Good idea.

Sh*t talks.
No Republican who votes for this blatantly unconstitutional bill should claim to be a conservative when running for office this election year. They should be defeated.
You convinced me.
It will be VERY depressing if President Trump signs anything that reauthorizes FISA.
It still has to go through the Senate (where Paul and Lee will have a vote) and, should there be major differences in the versions, it would go through a conference committee and a re-vote before it even gets to Trump’s desk. So this is all a bit premature.
I do think Trump will have a hard time approving any FISA bill that doesn’t have safeguards to prevent them from doing what was done to him. Just my hunch.
I hope our President listens to your advice.
This 'fix' is a scam, and does nothing that will change fbi/doj/fisa behavior.
Nothing in this bill will send any more bad guys to jail nor even scare them from doing again what they did to the The President.
Yes, and fire that useless POS Deep-State operative Bill Barr while you are at it.
Or does someone want to tell me again about all the indictments that are just around the corner?
How can Mike Lee be so right on bill of rights issues, yet dead wrong, even treasonous on H1-Bs and betraying American workers on behalf of Indian lobbyists? Is he mentally ill?
“Bipartisan” bills are usually the worst for the country, since they are almost all left-wing in nature and designed to push that agenda.
Put the unconstitutional Secret court out of its misery and the problems of its misconduct and danger are solved
Trump will veto it.
