Earlier today there was reported a compromise in which Congress but not the American public would be exempt from warrantless spying.

It appears enough members in both parties were able to block reauthorization even without the "compromise".

I’m sure they’re already spying on Trump’s campaign again

All they’re doing is holding out for some more entitlements. As they get down to the wire the sordid blackmail pictures will be disseminated in conspicuous places and “decisions” will be made, no? A story as old as time?

Trump is right, as usual.

FISA powers are incredibly invasive and warrantless.

Truth is, you can listen in on folks anyway, using the normal route by getting a judge to ok it, T3: https://bja.ojp.gov/program/it/privacy-civil-liberties/authorities/statutes/1284. Not a federal FISA court kangaroo judge that’s a rubber stamp and has a cozy relationship with those asking for it, but a real judge and court.

FISA has been ABUSED.

Repeatedly, and the IC has demonstrated that they cannot be trusted with this power.

It needs to go.

Thank you, Matt Gaetz, and MAGA conservatives.

Kill the bill. They will still spy, but can be put out of circulation if caught.

Until you get the story from someone other than places like the lying communist hill then there is no telling what the actual reasoning is here.

Authors names read like Rebecca Bitch and Mach Schnell. Just a few letters here and there.

Let this piece of legislative tripe just die.

Let’s call the first step in de-weaponizing FedGov.

Indeed it takes time for proper wording to write the One World Constitution.

The proponents of reauthorizing FISA need to remember the adage, “This is why we can’t have nice things”. The abuse of the Act is what has led to the anger and rejection of its reauthorization. I worked in the Title 50 world for a number of years, back when we actively reported every identified surveillance of a “US Person” and had to explain it.

They do what they want anyway. There is no honor in government, only power whores and lazy encrusted paycheck holders.
