House passes FISA reauthorization bill after previous GOP setback
ABC News ^

Posted on 04/12/2024 10:29:26 AM PDT by USA-FRANCE

In a 273 to 147 vote, lawmakers renewed Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which is set to expire on April 19, through 2026. It now heads to the Senate.

In the age of “communication by air”, this is a necessity. Spies can’t be everywhere.

Why am I not surprised? We The People don’t matter in the least to these congresscritters. In their bizzaro universe we are nothing, but we must be watched in case we do something they don’t like. Such as live and THINK independently. To them that makes us dangerous and a “threat” to “ their democracy”.

An amendment was offered to add a warrant requirement to see data from Americans, but it narrowly failed in a 212 to 212 vote.

I have been thinking about the traditional blue-collar working class disaffected non-voters who say: “The politicians are all the same. They are all fake. etc.”

And our traditional response is “ look at the public policy differences, we must decide on the issues ... blah, blah blah...”

More now tha ever I believe that the blue collar skeptics were right all along. And we were the deluded ones. Except for a few symbolic issues, the UniParty is all the same. They are all fake.

(there are reall dissenters from the political class like Trump, Bibi, and Berlusconi. they try to put them in jail)
