Failing to reauthorize FISA Section 702 does not mean an immediate threat to national security, but failing to incorporate a warrant requirement (at the very least) *does* present an immediate threat to Americans' privacy and constitutional protections.

.@WhiteHouse national security memo pays lip service to AI deployment that's "consistent with" constitutional rights and civil liberties, but critics argue that little info is provided on how to accomplish such a goal.

'All that’s needed is for the administration to drop its absolutism and recognize the legitimacy of a basic claim — when the U.S. government wants to read an American’s private communications, and there’s no emergency, it needs to get a judge’s sign-off.'

The “FISA goes dark Friday” panic is overblown. Existing surveillance runs through March 2027 and most foreign intel never needed FISA 702 anyway. The real story: oversight bodies have been gutted while the spying continues. We're not going blind, warns Cato’s @PGEddington. We're going unaccountable.

But of course, Section 702 will not go dark. The program operates under year-long certifications approved by the FISA Court. The law grandfathers these certifications, and directives issued to companies under them, in the event the statute lapses. 14/17 brennancenter.org/our-work/r…

It’s not too much to ask that the government get a warrant to conduct a U.S. citizen query under FISA 702.
One must ask:
Why does the deep state resist this so aggressively?

When it comes to FISA, all we are asking for is accountability.
We need to make sure this power can no longer be abused to spy on Americans.
Get a warrant.

Reforming FISA Section 702 to protect Americans from warrantless spying should have "absolutely no impact on the value of the program" as a national security tool, @lizagoitein tells @npr. npr.org/transcripts/nx-s1-58…

House fails to pass interim FISA Section. The vote was 198 yeas to 218 nays. But this needed a 2/3 majority and the Houde couldn't even get a simple majority. With 416 members voting, this needed 273 yeas.

ICYMI: @RepRaskin statement on FISA Section 702 explains why the oft-abused surveillance law must be reformed, noting that the Fourth Amendment requires that "a judge must come between the federal government and Americans’ private communications."

FISA Section 702 is a powerful surveillance tool, but years of abuse by federal agencies show why it must be reformed in order to protect Americans' privacy and uphold the Fourth Amendment.

Protecting national security while protecting constitutional rights is not a zero-sum game, and FISA fearmongering prevents the open and vigorous debate that surveillance reform requires.
