Conservatives unhappy with Speaker Johnson over defense bill passage with FISA reauthorization

JTN: House conservatives are unhappy with House Speaker Mike Johnson’s handling of the defense bill passage, which included temporary Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act reauthorization.

Republicans and some Democrats have been calling for changes to FISA’s Section 702, which deals with federal surveillance of U.S. citizens abroad.

House GOP leaders pulled two FISA reform bills from the House floor and the National Defense Authorization Act passed with a temporary FISA extension through April 19. More House Democrats voted in favor of the NDAA than Republicans. The NDAA passed in the Democratic-led Senate 87-13.

“I love our military. That’s why I voted for the NDAA passed this summer under Speaker McCarthy that included a 30% pay raise for junior members of the military. But the NDAA negotiated by Speaker Johnson, Chuck Schumer, Mitch McConnell and Hakeem Jeffries removed that pay raise,” said Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.

“Not only that, it didn’t remove Ukraine funding and doubled it to $600 million, funded abortion vacations, and kept trans in our military. Worst of all, they shoved the FISA spy court into our defense bill. The NDAA should NEVER reauthorize the weaponization of our justice system that Joe Biden’s DOJ and the FBI are using to spy on American citizens,” she added. more

  1. Well, considering Ronald Reagan’s observation that “…the Democrat Party left me.” where’d you think the demonrats went? Conservation of mass and energy being what it is.

  2. Don’t just blame Johnson. Look at all the other RINO’s who voted for this. And now the senate RINO negotiators are working toward 1,000,000 illegals crossing the border is an acceptable compromise with democrats and the WH. Neither side is negotiating in America’s best interests.

  3. He just got in there. Give him a chance. His shoes aren’t even muddy yet. Just a few more bills pasted for the Ukraine along with some of our important bills & he’ll be excepted into the fold.
    He is actually working out better than McCarthy. The Dems. Ok we might bend on the border problem hope that helps.

  4. Ignorant bastard. Shallow and silly. Seems to have a very poor understanding of where we are and what has gone on concerning the GD government spying on us illegally,,, or else he is a globalist traitor.
