#AbolishFisa
“more time to reach consensus”
In other words, over half of these skunks are ok with spying on Americans without a warrant.
Sorry, if this gives skunks a bad name.
No need for FISA. The Constitution is very clear:
Fourth Amendment
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
Fifth Amendment
Amendment V
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Sixth Amendment
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.
Yet more evidence that they’ve got the goods on congresscritters...
Not sure sure this current crop of Republicans are the ones to steer FISA into reform, or to its complete dissolution.
FISA, after all, was meant to be a second check against FBI overreach, for its criminal investigations and surveillance techniques against Americans, by seeking the cover of a court judge, as the Woods Rule for verifying evidence.
You know, if I were the speaker Inwould say, nothing hits the floor od the house until the DOJ stops persecuting our nominee. No votes. Period
In order to allow Congress more time to reach consensus.
What time does the bidding begin ?.
