WH about-face: Trump now opposes 702 renewal? Update: "With that being said..."; Update: "Disarray"; Update: Pelosi tells Ryan to pull bill - Hot Air
“House votes on controversial FISA ACT today.” This is the act that may have been used, with the help of the discredited and phony Dossier, to so badly surveil and abuse the Trump Campaign by the previous administration and others?

Without some changes to 702, Rand Paul has threatened to filibuster the 702 renewal in the Senate:
“My worry is that they also collect information on millions of Americans, and I don’t want that database to be searched without a warrant,” the Kentucky Republican said. He added, “I will filibuster and do whatever to stop that.”
Paul said he would vote to reauthorize Section 702, however, if there are protections in place for Americans’ private information, and added that he supports the USA Rights Act, another amendment to the program proposed by Rep. Justin Amash, R-Michigan.
Comey, however, defended the tool he, his FBI, and Obama abused in order to illegally conduct surveillance on the GOP Presidential candidate and his associates.
'Thoughtful leaders on both sides of the aisle know FISA section 702 is a vital and carefully overseen tool to protect this country. This isn’t about politics. Congress must reauthorize it.'

This is a LIE....702 has been proven NOT to have been adequately overseen - the Trump case is the most clear evidence of that, as Paul and other bipartisan who are calling for changes to it point out.
'JUST IN: House Minority Leader Pelosi has asked Speaker Ryan to cancel today's FISA vote in light of President Trump's tweet, a senior Democratic aide tells @NBCNews.

For now, without changes to 702 - more oversight to ensure what has happened - administration / political abuse - can not happen again, they do not have the votes.
