US House votes to renew FISA spying tool after earlier Republican revolt
Prior to passage, the House failed to adopt a bipartisan amendment to curtail warrantless surveillance inside the U.S. Section 702 of the law expires on April 19 unless it's renewed.
So Republicans revolted, but what did the Democrats do?
Seems they instructed the corpo media talking heads to paint FISA as something good that republicans are obstructing. Thus manufacturing consent for our constitutional right to privacy to be violated even more egregiously.
As bad as FISA is, it at least has the value of hindering Russian intelligence. Democrats took the poison of the neoliberal elites, and Republicans took the position of Russia and Putin. Neither party is fully aware that the rest of America even exists.
