Mass Surveillance News

Section 702,Fisa

Jake Johnson is a senior editor and staff writer for Common Dreams.

The U.S. House on Friday passed legislation to expand a major mass spying authority after voting down a bipartisan push to attach a search warrant requirement to the heavily abused surveillance law. The bill to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for two years passed by a vote of 273-147, with 59 Democrats and 88 Republicans voting no. More Democrats voted for the bill than Republicans.

Turner claimed requiring a warrant to collect Americans' communications would allow the Chinese Communist Party, Hezbollah, and Hamas to 'fully recruit in the United States.' 'Many members who tanked this vote have long histories of voting for this specific privacy protection, including former Speaker Pelosi, Representative Lieu, and Representative Neguse,' Demand Progress policy director Sean Vitka said in a statement.
