“You could be right, but I’m puzzled as to why all 41 members of the House Freedom Caucus didn’t vote against it, only a few did.”

I understand our cynicism here, but maybe the bill wasn’t all that bad. My position is, I admit, extreme, which is that it is necessary to risk terror attacks in order to keep the government from destroying our rights. But I’m not elected, and so I don’t have to answer for not supporting FISA when the Sears Tower (or something like it) gets taken down.

But then again, I know far more victims of home accidents than people killed or injured by terrorists.

Johnson sold out pretty quick.“

Like Wray the rats put very little resistance to Mikee. I think they had what they needed on him on and he is getting blackmailed.

Johnson has been obviously compromised. He keeled quick. Must have had some stuff that would make him look like a hypocrite on him.

Good point. Should be made by the GOP to the media and on the campaign trail by Trump. The Administration shouldn’t be letting in 10 million people without vetting and then complaining that they need to spy on every American without due process.

Whatever the FBI has on Johnson, it must be a doozy.

No Jackass Johnson, this govt and it’s spy agencies have proven they cannot be trusted with this power. They abused it so badly that it should have been used against them.

Apparently the democrats listened to Trump. They all voted to kill it, yet just 19 Rs joined them. Up is down, left is right. FISA has been transformed into a political weapon, and needs to die.

I agree. I also see that as the reason for all the early outs by some of the Reps.
