With Support From Nancy Pelosi, House Gives Trump Administration Broad Latitude to Spy on Americans

[Windparadox]

`
"With bipartisan backing, the House of Representatives passed a bill Thursday that would renew one of the government’s most sweeping surveillance authorities for six years with minimal changes.The measure, which passed 256-164, reauthorized Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which was set to expire later this month.

The law was first passed in 2008 to legalize President George W. Bush’s warrantless wiretapping program. It allows the National Security Agency to collect Americans’ communications with people overseas, as long as the NSA is “targeting” the foreigners involved.

The vote followed a morning of confusion, as President Donald Trump tweeted in opposition to the bill, referencing a conspiracy theory about then-President Barack Obama spying on the Trump campaign. He walked himself back two hours later, tweeting, “We need it! Get Smart!”

The law serves as the legal backing for two mammoth NSA programs revealed by Edward Snowden: Upstream, which collects information from the internet junctions where data passes in and out of the country, and PRISM, which collects communications from U.S.-based internet companies, like Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Yahoo". - Source

1) Pelosi once again shows the depths of her duplicity. She's a Clintonian democrat, beholden first and foremost Hillary and Bill. Party before country.

2) This shows how much the democrats and republicans are alike. I call them the republicrats.

It did not matter what any law stared under Obama - he just did what he wanted, violating both Constitution and Law.

The POS, who should have been Impeached several times over, illegally spied on American citizens, reporters, the media, US Senators, and even USSC Justices ... and he protecyed criminals who helped him do it, like Clapper, from prosecution.

The contents of the law did not matter - he violated the $hit out of it. The contents of this one will mean no more or less.

Anericans need to move forward understanding their government is violating their Constitutional Rights, spying on them, using the IRS as a weapon against them, etc... which are all part of obama's 'Transforming' America and part of his 'Legacy'....just as the recently exposed criminal / seditious FBI...

Ignorant, hyperbolic nonsense.

The measure does not allow the government to ‘spy’ on Americans.

Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act authorizes the collecting of communications of foreigners abroad.

The proposed amendment to the measure addressed concerns where targeted foreigners are communicating with Americans.

But there has never been an expectation of privacy with such communications because the information is gathered from telecommunication entities, not individuals.

And to make this about ‘Pelosi’ is dishonest and partisan, as most Republicans were eager to defeat the amendment, where the issue cuts across both party lines and ideologies:

“Some of the most conservative Republicans in the House joined with some of the most liberal Democrats in the failed bid for more privacy protections. Ultimately, 58 Republicans joined 125 Democrats in voting for the overhaul amendment, while 55 Democrats joined 178 Republicans in rejecting it.”

The problem isn’t surveillance programs, the problem is the lies, misinformation, and demagoguery exhibited by the OP and its linked article.

You're welcome to your opinion but as you didn't read the entire article, you have quite an awkward, if not confusing, response.
