Our new speaker, Mike Johnson, is refusing to allow critical policies to slip through under the cover of larger bills, even as he faces pressure from much of Washington.
From Breitbart. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Tuesday reportedly tabled a move to slip a deep state reauthorization into a defense bill. …
Who is praying on the wall?
As Breitbart News has reported, Johnson and other congressional leaders have wanted to temporarily reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Section 702 is a controversial government surveillance law, and the proposed move received strong backlash from 54 bipartisan House lawmakers and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH).
At one point, Johnson’s office refused to confirm to Breitbart News Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-FL) claim that there would be no reauthorization, temporary or otherwise, of Section 702.
Johnson said that they would allow for the different Section 702 fixes to be considered on the House floor …
As Johnson and other congressional leaders no longer wish to include Section 702 in the NDAA debate, the Judiciary Committee will now consider the merits of their proposal to rein in the controversial surveillance law.
The Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act (PLEWSA) would require a warrant for any Americans’ information sought under Section 702. The program does not currently require a warrant for such a search.
The legislation would also prohibit law enforcement and intelligence agencies from purchasing Americans’ private data through data brokers, a practice which has been known as the “data broker loophole.” Biggs and other lawmakers have decried this practice, believing it to be a run around the Fourth Amendment.
The Judiciary bill would also limit how many FBI agents can search the Section 702 database and would set up penalties for violations under FISA.
Reps. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Jim Jordan (R-OH), Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Warren Davidson (R-OH), Sara Jacobs (D-CA), and Russell Fry (R-SC) sponsored the legislation. …

We loose the Angelic Host to cover Mike Johnson and family thru the coming war with neo Nazis
I don’t think the FISA should be renewed for it has been abused by a corrupt justice system that attacks political enemies.
