If the votes aren't there to block reauthorization, can some of Congress at least get an agreement to weaken, or water it down?

They did. They exempted themselves.

The E. German Stasi had people in every neighborhood reporting on anyone that was deemed “disloyal”.

That makes it worse in my opinion. If it’s good enough for us unwashed masses, it’s good enough for them. If anything, I would be fine for have all of FISA, if it only applied against Congress. Being a member of Congress should be considered automatic probably cause.

Getting it down to two years from 5 is the biggie that got passed. At least the next administration will have a crack at it.

But after much thought...I believe warrant or no warrant...if the government wants to spy on Americans, they'll do it.....FISA be damned.

I know what you mean, but at the very least it could become an issue in court for them to use that evidence.

This goes way back.

The Congressional response to the Abscam investigation, was to exempt themselves, not clean up thgeir crooks.

Thank you for referencing that article nickcarraway.

"How the FISA Reauthorization Bill Could Force Maintenance Workers and Custodians To Become Government Spies"


As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.

First, to the best of my knowledge at this time, FISA started out as a constitutional law, but was later amended with unconstitutional amendment(s) imo. To me, amending a constitutional law with unconstitutional amendments is a scandalous back door around the Constitution's Article V amendment process.

Also, corrupt Congress not only decides not to remove impeached Mayorkas from office for his scandalous border policies which is undoubtedly an open door for spies, but also trashes our 4th Amendment protections against warrantless searches as well, undoubtedly because of "suspicious" citizen association with spies.

So it's up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" Constitution-Ignoring, anti-Trump lawmakers from office in November, supporting him with a new patriot Congress so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will be able to quickly finish draining the swamp.

Trump was president for four years. I don’t remember FISA being stopped then?

Yeah, if that’s all they need it for then fix the wording. The fact that they don’t plan to change the text of the law proves they’re lying about their intent.
