Few things in Washington are more predictable than Congress renewing surveillance powers and promising to reform them later.

I spoke on the House floor against the “temporary” clean reauthorization of the unconstitutional FISA 702 program.

I want 1 million dollars for everytime I was spied on by the US government. @MarshaBlackburn @JohnRoseforTN you voted for it for yourselves, now its time to pass it for every US citizen.

It’s called leveling the playing field.

It’s only fair for Trump to have the FISA ball.

Helps find people doing dirty deeds to our @POTUS

Every few years Congress tells us, “trust us, we’ll fix it later.” Then later never comes. If a program is constitutional and effective, defend it. If it violates Americans’ rights, end it. This one should be easy, get rid of it.

Burn what you can to the ground. We really appreciate you up here in Michigan. If you have some free time and want to take a vacation up this way, our doors are always open.

I’m seriously wondering when you suddenly decided to have a problem with 702.

The fact that Trump endorsed Lindsay Graham but completely shunned Massie is the biggest joke of all time.

FISA ain’t a court and the judges ain’t judges.

It would seem pretty easy for Congress to just add one sentence:<br>It will be REQUIRED to obtain a warrant before spying against American citizens in America. You know that pesky 4th amendment

Even more predictable is how 98% of congressional representatives are under the thumb of, handmaidens for and controlled by the likes of BlackRock, Palantir, Exxon, Israel and Raytheon - plus a whole slew of billionaires.

A piss poor way to run a country

It was the first lesson my dad taught me when I was a child in the 1980s:

There is nothing clean about a reauthorization of an unconstitutional bill. Thank you Massie.

Mr. Massie, SIR,

it NEEDS to be removed COMPLETELY.

WE SHOULD BE IDENTIFYING THOSE WHO ARE FROM T3R ORGS & NOT using bi-data from AMERICAN CITIZENS.

we have MILLIONS of GOOD & honorable American citizens who should NOT be under incidental surveillance, INCLUDING...
