In November of 2019 buried deep in the congressional budget Continuing Resolution (CR) was a short-term extension to reauthorize the FISA “business records provision”, the “roving wiretap” provision, the “lone wolf” provision, and the more controversial bulk metadata provisions [Call Detail Records (CDR)], all parts of the Patriot Act. As a result of the FISA CR inclusion the terminal deadline was pushed to March 15, 2020.
~ Something has to happen this week
The Senate is scheduled to recess March 13, 2020. Additionally, the DOJ/FBI response to the FISA court order (due February 5th) has still not been made public. If congress is going to reauthorize the controversial FISA provisions, they now have only *FIVE* days; and the good news today is Doug Collins confirming the House does not have enough votes to support a “clean reauthorization.” Hopefully, that means FISA is going to change...

... Declassification of existing FISA records would reveal the November 2015 through April 2016 FISA-702 search query abuse as outlined in the April 2017 court opinion written by FISC Presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer. Who exactly are these private sector FBI contractors behind the 85% fraudulent search queries? This was a weaponized surveillance and domestic political spying operation. [The trail was laid down in specific detail by Judge Collyer – See Here

No, “something does not have to happen.”
Let it expire.
Oh shut up. He never said anything of the kind.
FISA, signed into law by that idiot GWB, is the tool that was used to try to destroy President Trump. Apparently you’re fine with all that.
L
This wasn't used against our enemies. This was used against US. Is there any part of this beast that you refuse to rise in defense? Any part?
The article is not about removing the FISA altogether. The rational outcome will be reform. Rational reform is the point of the holdout Democrats.
Irrational Conservative hysteria will not be the guiding principle
Yes, but Irrational Conservative Hysteria is so much more gratifying for Freepers here.
Hunh ?
FISA needs to die.
Secret courts have no place in a free country.
You believe covert action against enemies is ethically or morally wrong.
bert, he didn't say or imply anything like the crap that you posted.
He said, 'secret courts have no place...' and that is true.
The FISA court was established in 1978 because some congress critters were pissed that the cia and fbi were being abused by Nixon {they didn't give a fat rat's ass that LBJ, JFK, and FDR all misused the the same services.
The FISA court was supposed to be a cure for abuse, now it is a cause of the abuse.
The FISA laws need to be repealed...secret courts have no place...
My son, a retired Navy Captain that had worked both with the CIA spooks as well as NSA, disagrees with me and my positions.
He believes that the FISA court can be cleaned up, to which I say, bullshit, they will have to prove it before I even give an inch.
The Constitution ceased to be in effect on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 when both parties clapped like trained seals for an ineligible British subject/Kenyan/Indonesian.
Extrapolated, his thoughts give aid and comfort to our enemies
Sounds painful...
and her seditionist boss I will never believe they were going to apply to wire tap trump and Obama wasn’t told about it. And all this Russia, Russia, Russia crap happened in 2016 when he was reportedly president.
bert, so now, you are not only going to infer and imply, to change what he writes, you are going to 'extrapolate' his thoughts.
This is my last response to you on this subject, you are using too much vodka in your bloody-bulls this morning.
Good day, mate.
”So, you believe it is ok to tell enemies everything. You believe telling all is the proper way to deal with enemies.
You believe covert action against enemies is ethically or morally wrong.”
In balance, covert action against American’s for political purposes is the worse threat against the country. Even now, those that have abused the delegated powers are not held accountable.
Anyone that wants surveillance must start fresh.
Bollocks.
There’s nothing irrational about demanding that our government abide by the limits set forth in the US Constitution.
In fact, that is the low-bar.
