This bill represents one of the most dramatic and terrifying expansions of government surveillance authority in history. I will do everything in my power to stop it from passing in the Senate.
Senator, this is a blatant violation of the Fourth Amendment. Do you guys not care about that at all? Who will protect us against a legislature and judiciary that is willing to throw away our protections on their whim?
When one party has made crystal clear that they want to ban anything that doesnβt comply with their religion, a law allowing for unlimited, unregulated surveillance is just further enabling the slave state the GOP is trying to create.
If the dumbass football coach can hold up legitimate military promotions for his own personal religious agenda, you can stop creeping fascism for all of us. You have my 100% support.
I have to wonder how much support from various politicos stems from not wanting illegal dealings with foreign powers to come to light. Not pointing fingers, but we all know who and why.
FISA itself is pretty broad and is an integral part of our foreign intelligence. No one would cheer louder at the US killing FISA than russia and china.
It needs major reform though. Hopefully we can have a functional government when it comes around again in 2 years.
