House Speaker Mike Johnson’s “compromise” legislation is long on reauthorization and short on reform.
As the chief policy officer of BitChute, a video sharing platform serving millions of U.S. users, I’m closely watching the House and Senate’s discussions on possibly renewing or changing Section 702 of the 2008 FISA Amendments Act. For anyone unaware, Section 702 currently permits warrantless interception, collection, storage, and queries of communications related to “foreign intelligence information.” For well over a decade, Section 702 has enabled our government to conduct warrantless surveillance of foreigners and Americans alike.
With the expiration of the program’s authorization looming, and a vote on a proposal scheduled to take place as early as Wednesday, let’s see what sort of reforms our elective representatives might enact. more here
And the proposed exemptions for elected officials run afoul of the Equal Protection clause. For all the times Congress has pulled that one, we should tie them up in the courts until the end of time.
With news like this, this Speaker, the cleancut little Johnson, has a face as punchable as Mike Pence.
And I’ll say damn you Matt Gaetz. I trusted you in support of Johnson. Once again fucked by a republican.
Again, Speaker Johnson falls in line with the appeasers, Boehner, Ryan and McCarthy.
This Bill should be VOTED DOWN, or better yet, not brought to a vote.
When a NEW CONGRESS is sworn in on 2025, the FISA reform should be revisited with significant reforms and Constitutional protections of US Citizens.
NO MORE Compromise, Speaker Johnson !!
Speaker Johnson is a Socialist, Democrat, RINO, shit pile.
^^^^^^
He and MTG supposedly met earlier this week. Have not heard the out come.
I sent my congress critter an e-mail asking why he voted for the government to spy on me but not him.
Should be easy enough to fit an aircraft carrier through the hole the worthless government has already made.
igotsyo surveillance swinging, badge d-suckers
FISA is a Constitutional abomination.
The FISA “judge” who was “fooled” by the FBI has yet to be censured and impeached (nor tried, convicted, and executed for treason).
Our country is disintegrating before our very eyes – I guess the same way the ancient empires dissolved while most grabbed what they could and scrambled for cover.
Sad to live through times like these.
