No

They will keep collecting info on all that we do.

China does also.

There is no stopping it.

Everything passed to protect us is turned around to hurt Citizens.

Homeland (Un) Security put in after 9 Eleven.

Should be disbanded, it only helps our enemies.

Oops, called the Patriot Act.

How ironic

Anything short of a full repeal of the PATRIOT act and hard criminal penalties for the FBI involved in the 2016 “insurance policy” and the theft of the 2020 election is useless.

Time to take back America from the post 9/11 authoritarian police state takeover.

Actually, it is way past time

I remember arguing most strongly against the "patriot" act right here on FR and being called every name in the book because of it.

Also way past time to disband the FISA court in its entirety.

In the 1970s, The Church Committee in the Senate investigated illegalities and unconstitutional practices of the intelligence agencies and FBI/DOJ against American citizens (who, unlike foreigners, have clear Constitutional rights).

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA court) was the set up as a panel of 11 federal judges responsible for deciding whether the U.S. government has enough evidence against foreign powers or individuals (Americans) believed to be foreign agents to allow for their surveillance by the intelligence community. The court was established under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) to oversee requests for surveillance warrants against foreign spies inside the United States by federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies. The court operates under strict secrecy due to the nature of the cases being presented. Each application for a FISA warrant must first be presented to an individual judge of the court, and it is extremely rare for FISA warrant requests to be turned down.

It is well established that the FBI LIED, knowingly, in the evidence to get a FISA warrant on the Trump campaign in 2016 by using the Steel Dossier, a Clinton Campaign document to be used in her run against Trump.

To this very day, the Supreme Court and Chief Justice has done nothing to investigate or rule on this official perjury or even speak about it.

NEVER FORGET, and if by some lucky circumstance you ever meet a Supreme Court Justice, especially Chief Justice Roberts, you owe it as a patriot to publicly ask him why this is so.

Its beginning to look like Crazy Liz, Paul Ryan and McCarthy were running a blockade for decades.
Watching carefully with some optimism.
