Thank goodness the Freedom Caucus blocked it from going to the Senate! Fie on all Rs who voted for this pile.

A bill to renew a key federal government surveillance tool known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) passed the House of Representatives on Friday about a week before it’s set to expire.
But House Freedom Caucus conservatives and their allies have blocked the bill from heading to the Senate – moments after its passage Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., raised a procedural measure to reconsider the vote, which House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, moved to reverse.
Now, the House must vote on whether to reconsider passage of Section 702 on Monday, shortening the Senate’s timeline to consider the bill before its expiry on April 19.
The vote to accept or defeat the need for a warrant was evenly divided; in the case of a 'tie' the amendment is considered defeated. My guess is that that is the source of the 'procedural measure'. I suspect that Mike Johnson didn't do enough arm twisting.
I got an email from Matt Gaetz today thanking me for my 'continuing' support. I answered (not with another contribution): No longer. I suspect that you may be part of a covert plot to turn control of the House over to the Dems... your foisting this McCarthy clone on us (without apology) strengthens that suspicion. etc...
