The FISA bill was passed last week, and Speaker Johnson cast the deciding vote. It allows the intelligence agencies to continue spying on Americans. This is destroying our 4th Amendment.
It seemed like it was over, but Rep. Anna Paulina Luna used a maneuver to force a revote on Monday.
“The fight for taking down the unconstitutional FISA is not over. There is another vote on Monday! I have sent this letter to all Republicans, and we are sending it to all Democrats. We need 218 to stand with us against the unconstitutional surveillance of Americans.”
In her letter, she reminded members that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) was “to gather information on bad foreign actors.” However, it was abused “to spy on American citizens in direct violation of American liberty and the 4th Amendment. The FISA court found that the federal government violated its own rules over 278,000 times.”
No matter how this turns out, she is a hero.

Time for Michael to put on his big boy pants and stand with the U.S. Constitution and the Majority Legal U.S. Citizens not the crooked U.S. Government establishment and “sh-t he–” Democrates. The U.S. is a country of Legal U.S. Citizens and a Republic Of Union of Several States. NOT a DEMOCRACY or COUNTRY of ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS/ NON U.S. CITIZENS.
Time for Michael and other Republicans to realize who and what this country is all about.
Time to recognize that half of the GOP is crooked and needs to be thrown out. They want to enrich themselves and exempt themselves from the rules they foist on the public. Their partners in crime, the Marxists-Demorats are pure evil.
Let the World blow up. Keep the 4th Amendment.
“However, at 8:00, Speaker Johnson explains why he voted for it – to keep the world from blowing up at a critical time”: Yeah, because American citizens are the reason the world is getting ready to blow up. Shut up Rep.Johnson, you’re making my home state look foolish. You now are the face of the Uniparty.
She is a hero.
Johnson has entered the ranks of Ryan, Boehner, Sessions, Barr, McCarthy, Mitch, and so on. Trump is the effective leader of the party, and is trying to hold the pieces together with the weak and corrupt leadership he has to deal with. It appears to me that Trump gave Johnson a good beating.
