House Conservatives tank FISA Bill…

Link to article…
House conservatives on April 10 tanked a procedural vote to advance a surveillance power reauthorization bill in protest against its lack of warrant requirements. The development is another blow to Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) who already faces an ouster threat from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.).
In a 192-226 vote, lawmakers voted not to advance Rep. Laurel Lee’s (R-Fla.) “Reforming Intelligence and Securing America” Act, which would extend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act’s (FISA’s) controversial Section 702 for a period of five years. The warrantless surveillance power is due to lapse on April 19.
While such procedural votes normally advance along party lines, 19 Republicans joined all Democrats to block the bill, employing a tactic increasingly used by GOP factions to apply pressure on leadership.

What am I missing? Not allowing Warrentless surveillance…seems like this is a good thing, right? Or am I reading this wrong?

Speaker Mike Johnson
Complete fraud. And I’m from his district, voted him in every time he’s been up for reelection, and were members of the same church.
Complete fricking fraud with no conviction and the spine of a jellyfish.

Go back to church and call him out publicly in front of the congregation! Chase him out like Christ did the money changers! Force him to face the ire of the people!
And vote against him from now on and against any who endorse him. Do NOT patronize his backers businesses, go to the competitors.

Glad some of the Reps stood up against this... Disappointed that mine did not and I let him know it...
Government needs to be reeled back in on all levels and all fronts... Especially where it comes to a clear violation of Constitutional Rights AND where it has been demonstrated that a corrupt DOJ has been weaponized...

The fact that he was spineless and maleable is why the Freedom Caucus types nominated him in the first place. Y'all thought he could be controlled and would rubber stamp your whims.
Then he got in and realized,"shite!!!! someone has to govern.....FUUUUUUCK." Freedom Caucus types then replied,"We ain't here to do none of that guvning thing"

Supporting warrantless spying on American citizens is your idea of governing?

I don't, but I've always been against FISA, unlike people like Matt Gaetz

No, that's actually one of the smart things he has done. But overall you wanted him in there so he would do next to nothing.

Not allowing it to protect every citizens 4th amendment rights is a good thing, but the carve out would only protect Congressman, you know the way it should be...
