BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson just inexcusably voted against the American people and his voters by casting the tie-breaking vote 212-212 to defeat a FISA 702 amendment requiring a warrant to spy on Americans.

May as well have a Democrat speaker. Vacate the chair!

I hate to say I told you so. So I won’t.

Mike Johnson is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A total fraud.

Sure seems that way. And there are many more Republicans like that.

[algore]

does anyone really believe that his vote would have changed anything ?

[silverleaf]

Warrantless spying is so….millennial now.

and click on the section 702 link to bring up the PDF describing what the section does.

WHO CAN’T THE IC TARGET UNDER SECTION 702?
•U.S. persons, regardless of location
•Any person located inside the U.S.
•A foreign person located abroad for the purpose of targeting a U.S. person or person inside the U.S.with whom the foreign person is communicating (often called “reverse targeting”)

I don’t agree with him on this but our priority needs to be the election of Trump and of a more republican Congress in both houses so I’m not ready to get on the bandwagon of throwing anybody out until we have the reinforcements in place.

Speaker Jonson has been PUNKED!!! What a fool!!!!

[Kazan]

Johnson needs to forced to find other work.

The Ukrainian "aid" will be passed next, and then Johnson will step down, IMO. I think the only answer, as difficult as it may be, is to start a new party. The GOP is a dead party walking at this point - the party (not the voters) appears to have no core beliefs, which in turn leads to them rubber-stamping the anti-American Democrat agenda. What a mess.

This is how the Constitution dies.

no it does not. Read what the section actually does before hyperventilating and jumping off a cliff.

[Starboard]

Anyone remember when liberals claimed to be against all this?

*************

That was before they gained control over the government and our institutions. Now that they run everything they have an insatiable desire for POWER.

The deep state must have a load on that little girlie man.

[SharpRightTurn]

Johnson was against it until he had a meeting with some Deep Staters?

[HYPOCRACY]

Kiddie fiddler unless proven otherwise. What a POS.

[odawg]

“Passing the amendment would mean that the communication between the putative US pro-Hamas people would be out of bounds to listen in on.”

No it would not. They would only need to get a warrant.

The current red flag warning about an terrorist attack on the horizon scared the politicians. You just know there’s one in the back pocket of the TLA’s just in case.
