House Speaker Johnson among 86 Republicans who killed warrant mandate amendment in FISA renewal bill
House Speaker Mike Johnson was among the 86 Republicans who voted Friday against including a bipartisan warrant mandate amendment in the bill to renew the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act’s controversial section 702 surveillance program that passed out of the chamber.
Two other members of GOP House leadership – Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., and Conference Chair Elise Stefanik R-N.Y. – also voted against the amendment.
Johnson, of Louisiana, is scheduled to meet with former President Trump in-person at Mar-a-Lago later Friday, after Trump earlier this week called on the House GOP to “kill FISA.”
The amendment to end warrantless surveillance failed to pass in a tie vote of 212-212 on the House floor.
The legislation to renew FISA through 2026 ultimately passed without the amendment included in a bipartisan 273-147.
The amendment would have prohibited “warrantless searches of U.S. person communications in the FISA 702 database, with exceptions for imminent threats to life or bodily harm, consent searches, or known cybersecurity threat signatures.”
Johnson will next endorse Biden. What the freaking hell reason is there to vote for Republicans? It’s all one party.
Swear jar was filled today so I took the sleeping bags to the coin laundry, sticker shock the big machines are now $8.50. Ready for the next fucking Johnson will give us.
Well theres 6 minutes in the dryer.
Remember Jerimah Wright and his G**D***America? someone remind this fake Reverand of one of the 10 Commandments THOUGH SHALT NOT TAKE THE NAME OF THE LORD IN VAIN
Trump is gloating, Putin is laughing, and the GOP is the joke.
The entire world is laughing at Robin Ware/Robert L. Peters/JRB Ware/Pedo Peter/idiot Biden, our fascist DoJ, our fraudulent elections and the cancer of DEI that infects everything. Why are Democrats registering illegal immigrants to vote?
Conservatives said 16 years ago GWB had 702 put in the bill to go after Reagan backers. The last 7 years proves we were right!
Ask Democrat (when Bush’s Mueller wire taped him; party did not back him, so like Ronny he left!) Gen. Mike Flynn. Naming just one of many Ronny folk GWB’s FBI has gone after the last 7 years!
Mike is looking a lot like a “Bush Republican’!
