But the Senate Intelligence Committee last week passed a bill that would expand their reach.

We need to know who voted for this crap.

It's worse than merely voting for this outrage -- the perpetrator derailed a genuine pro-Constitution bill to dump this toxic waste into the body politic:

A bill that would require authorities to get a warrant to access U.S. emails older than 180 days faces an existential threat as a senator attempts to make it a vehicle for "the FBI’s No. 1 legislative priority," an expansion of the bureau's authority to take online records without court oversight.
Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn, R-Texas, is a co-sponsor of the Senate version of the email warrant bill, which passed the House unanimously last month, but his proposed changes threaten to kill momentum and perhaps the bill itself....
Cornyn's amendment would allow FBI officials, such as agents who lead field offices, to acquire various records without court approval....
CORNYN MUST GO!!
