We're just gonna note for the record here, that @HouseIntel is trying to push this amendment in order to OVERRULE the FISA court and its appellate-level "FISC-R" court, who both, unusually, said that the intelligence community was not in fact allowed to do this.

Sen. Rand Paul says he’ll need debate and amendments on FISA 702 reauthorization, including Biggs amendment. He’s not trying to cause a shutdown of the program over the weekend but says “if all else fails, I think we can live under the Constitution for a day, maybe two days”
The Vandals are sacking Rome. Again.
A notional deadline is no reason to create a surveillance state. The Senate must take the time to get this right. It’s not just our civil liberties that are at stake—it’s our democracy. @SenatorBennet @SenatorBooker @SenSherrodBrown @Senlaphonza @SenatorCantwell… 24/25

The House FISA bill as it stands would turn ordinary businesses into NSA spies. This will mean a MASSIVE expansion of the surveillance state. More info in this explainer by an expert advisor to the FISA Court: zwillgen.com/law-enforcemen…

If you work at a US tech firm, this bill could transform your whole company into a spy machine—whether you like it or not—and will be voted on in DAYS. The 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 needs to be lobbying to kill this thing. This is what a red alert looks like.

This is a real emergency for press (and everyone else’s) freedom. The bill would hand intel agencies countless new ways to surveil journalists and their sources by commandeering ordinary Americans and businesses as government spies. Call your senator ASAP!

Please repost, name your representative, and write #GetAWarrant in the comments after you’ve asked him or her to oppose warrantless surveillance of Americans under FISA 702 — specifically by voting “no” on tonight’s motion to table the motion to reconsider.
1/ 🚨🚨🚨 MUST READ: An amendment that snuck into the FISA Section 702 reauthorization bill on Friday by @RepMikeTurner and @jahimes will actually ***expand*** the government's spying powers and poses a concern according to a FISA court advisor. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/fi…
🚨A new amendment recently passed in the House dramatically broadens the definition of "spy" and could force Americans to spy on each other. Analysis here from FISA Court adviser @MJZwills warns of this dangerous, "overly broad" spy language: news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/fi…
This is the most important thread you will read this year.
This is the most important thread you will read this year.
The White House will tell senators they have no choice other than to pass the House bill, because Section 702 expires on April 19, and trying to fix the House bill—or pass different legislation—would take too long. But the April 19 deadline exists only on paper. 22/25
The Senate MUST stop this train before it is too late. The Senate is scheduled to vote on the House-passed bill this week. If there’s an opportunity to remove this provision, senators should remove it. If not, they should vote against the bill. 21/25
By the way, when a privacy advocate tried to get @jahimes to engage on this issue, here is the thoughtful and conscientious reply given by the ranking member of HPSCI, a man who clearly cares deeply about civil liberties. 20/25 x.com/jahimes/status…

There are certain powers a government should not have in a democracy. The ability to force ordinary businesses and individuals to serve as surrogate spies is one of them. Even if the targets are supposed to be foreigners, a power this sweeping WILL be abused. 19/25

@SeanVitka You do that. But life is really too short to engage with people who need to use bombastic absurdities like “Stasi-like”. Yes I know exactly what is in there. Some of it is classified. And none of it is remotely “Stasi-like”. Sell your nonsense elsewhere.
There are certain powers a government should not have in a democracy. The ability to force ordinary businesses and individuals to serve as surrogate spies is one of them. Even if the targets are supposed to be foreigners, a power this sweeping WILL be abused. 19/25
I cannot overstate how mindblowingly irresponsible that is. I don’t think *any* administration should be trusted with an Orwellian power like this one. But even if *this* administration doesn’t plan to make full use of it… (Go ahead and fill in the blank.) 18/25
…so they hid the real goal by writing the amendment as broadly and vaguely as possible. But no worries, Americans! The administration isn’t actually going to USE all the power it just persuaded the House to give it. 17/25
The NSA, having wholesale access to domestic communications on an unprecedented scale, would then be on the “honor system” to pull out and retain only the communications of approved foreign targets. (Let that sink in.) 15/25
…or to use techniques or devices (presumably provided by the NSA) to copy and turn over entire communications streams and/or repositories of stored communications, which would inevitably include vast quantities of wholly domestic communications. 14/25
That’s not even the worst part. Unlike Google and Verizon, most of these businesses and individuals lack the ability to isolate and turn over a target’s communications. So they would be required to give the NSA access to the equipment itself… 13/25
