A bipartisan bill passed by the House in March that seeks to reform the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court process will hit the Senate floor Tuesday.
FISA abuses were at the heart of the scandal involving allegations of Russia interference in the 2016 campaign after DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz found widespread errors in a report about warrant applications. Here’s what to know about the new legislation:
The FISC will face more oversight

How about we get rid of it? The government has shown it can’t be trusted not to abuse the authority.
Widespread “errors”. That should read crimes. Give me a break.
With a wingman like eric holder, what could possibly go wrong.
Voiding the 4th is not a good idea. You want to spy on an American? Go to a real court and get a court order. Abolish FISA and abolish the FBI neither can be trusted.

I’m willing to wait until after the election. Those Biden FISAs should be interesting.
Anything short of repeal is a total failure.
I bet Senator Linda is supporting this.
Leaky Leahy is a sponsor, so it must be worthless.
I am wondering if this is a preemptive action in response to something that may become public knowledge pretty soon....
Doesn’t it seem odd that all of a sudden there is a “bipartisan” effort in congress to fix FISA?
Why? The democrats and the media continue to tell us nothing was wrong with FISA.
What is their real motive?
I would guess, with high certainty, that there is no criminal or civil liabilities for violators in the bill ... kill the bill and FISC.
In today’s American politics,bipartisan is just as bad as partisan.
This bill should be defeated.
Several people, 15-20 need to go to prison before any reform is even considered.
So the problem was with the FISA rules, not the people in charge? Oh.
Judge "Really?"
FBI Agent "Yes your honor".
Judge "MMMMMM......Ok!'
It cannot be salvaged.
It’s too much power for any government, no matter how constructed, to resist.
Eliminate FISA and all elements of the old Patriot Act.
It’s the only solution.
“In today’s American politics,bipartisan is just as bad as partisan.”
It’s worse, in every case.
Unless this bill abolishes the unconstitutional abomination, I’m not interested.
The procedures they were given to follow were flawed!!
