SEN. RON WYDEN (D-OR) sounds alarm over FISA in the Senate
Twitter/X ^ | April 18 | Ron Wyden

@RonWyden

As the longest serving member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I can say with confidence that this bill is the biggest expansion of the government's warrantless surveillance power since the PATRIOT Act. I'm still doing everything in my power to stop it passing the Senate.

Can he possibly stop it? I doubt it there will be just enough votes for it.

Deep state wins...

They're on a roll lately, aren't they? Anyone keeping score?

The American constitution and republic are dead if that happens.

Throw us a bone Ron. Your voters believe what you tell them no matter what.

Every couple of days or so I am reminded why, in 2016, I stopped voting in congressional elections.

Trump should make a statement along the lines of, If I should become President I will use this law to stop our enemies, foreign and domestic. That might make a few people nervous...

I thought the republicans were the “lesser of two evils”. Here is a democrat who wants to stop FISA.

Wyden’s wife holds stock in the companies that openly spy on US citizens every day and sell our data. The idea that he is against surveillance of US citizens is fantasy.

He is more concerned about who else might be surveilled.

What he is concerned about is surveillance of US citizens’ conversations with people overseas, such as with Palestinian donors... they guy wants to stack the Supreme Court so for darn sure he isn’t interested in protecting citizens’ rights.


During an interview with Portland CBS affiliate KOIN 6 on Friday, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) responded to Israel killing some of Hamas’ leaders and its potential impact on ceasefire talks by stating that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “is going to just have to find a way to show some restraint and bring people together.” And Netanyahu, “in particular, is going to have to have some diplomacy to bring about restraint.”
