Republican House Speaker Opposes Warrants To Spy On Americans

[CountZero]

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) opposes a warrant requirement that he once supported for a controversial surveillance law, according to a report.

 Politico reported that Johnson’s staffer told a group of Republican staffers that the Speaker opposes a warrant requirement as the House moves toward a vote on a bill aimed at reauthorizing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a controversial surveillance law that is meant to target foreign adversaries but often ends up surveilling American citizens.

This is why we always lose no matter who we vote for.

This seems odd...is there something else attached to this piece of legislation? Or, does it preclude the ability to issues warrants for actual 'bad guys' in some manner? I'm suspicious here.

BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson just inexcusably voted against the American people and his voters by casting the tie-breaking vote 212-212 to defeat a FISA 702 amendment requiring a warrant to spy on Americans.

This is how the Constitution dies.

IMO something is going on here. Could it be that the current piece of legislation somehow would have hampered US Agencies from spying on the likes of Islamic Terrorists or other actual 'bad guys'? I know Trump does not like blanket powers for FISA (just look what it did to him) but you have Trump meeting with Johnson behind closed doors...looks like there's something more going if you ask me.

something more because Trump is backing Johnsons decision
