This is how the Constitution dies.

By a tie vote, the amendment to require a warrant to spy on Americans goes down in flames.

This is a sad day for America.

The Speaker doesn’t always vote in the House, but he was the tie breaker today. He voted against warrants.

DJ’s question is great. I’ll explain: They intentionally use the term “target” to mislead. Surveillance of “targets” sweeps up data from millions of Americans, which the intelligence community terms “incidental” collection. They then freely search that data without a warrant.

When Joe Biden, Mike Johnson, and others tell you a warrant requirement for FISA 702 is “unworkable,” what they’re really saying is they don’t give a damn about the Fourth Amendment or your rights. Don’t waste an ounce of energy supporting a politician who has contempt for you.

The House is voting TODAY on a bill that would reauthorize Section 702, expanding the federal government's power to spy on us without a warrant.

Call your Representative at 202-899-8938 and tell them: Vote NO.

Here's an EXAMPLE of what to tell your rep:

'Hello, I'm calling about today's FISA 702 ('fy-za seven-oh-two') reauthorization vote. Please vote FOR the House Judiciary Committee's amendments, WHICH REQUIRE THE GOVERNMENT TO GET A WARRANT and PRESERVE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.…

Any and every federal official—from the White House to Congress—who supports unconstitutional, warrantless FISA 702 surveillance needs to be removed from office.

Translation: 'When I was a member of Judiciary, I saw the abuses of the FBI, hundreds of thousands of abuses. And then when I became speaker, I got the confidential briefing from a different perspective: They said if I didn't support FISA, I wouldn't be speaker for much longer.'

I just spoke on the House floor to urge my colleagues to move forward with a vote on an amendment requiring warrants for FISA surveillance of Americans.

If the warrant amendment doesn't pass, we must vote no on FISA reauthorization.

My latest for Blaze Media: 'FISA 'reform' runs a freight train through the 4th Amendment'

'House Speaker Mike Johnson’s Speaker Mike Johnson “compromise” legislation is long on reauthorization and short on reform.

🚨 Congress gives itself a carve out in the reauthorization of FISA 702 warrantless spying on Americans.

The bill requires the FBI to notify and seek consent from Congress before violating the privacy of Congressmen.

This will persuade many members of Congress to vote yes.
