That was before I actually read the section. It only applies to over seas nationals - now no warrant will be needed to surveil them. No US citizen gets surveilled

Most others here obviously just panicked jumped off the cliff without reading it.

Uh, that’s what it has always been. We wanted a warrant if an American citizen was involved. Why is that too much to ask?

Don’t pretend like they don’t have other tools. Regardless, they have consistently violated even that.

Geez, even Jerry Nadler was arguing that.

And FISA hadn’t even been around that long. And the FBI abused it against Trump.

The corrupt don’t care about the language or the law.

But go ahead and throw your Constitutional rights away. Not me.

That’s not how I understand it works. If a U.S. citizen shows up as in any way associated with the foreign national under surveillance, their information gets sucked-up too.

“No US citizen gets surveilled.

You read wrong. There have been hundreds of thousands of Americans surveilled in the past, authorized by this bill, without warrants. This bill merely continues the status quo. The controversy has not been on this thread, it is the furious anger of most Republicans in the House.

No warrant is ever needed for overseas nationals.

You need to reread what you thought you read.
